After the Anthony Street Theater was destroyed by fire, a Protestant Episcopal church was built on the lot in 1822-23. It was an earlier building on the site of what is now 83-85 Worth Street, and it stood until the present Italianate stores replaced it in 1859-60.

Merchants David W. Catlin and Henry S. Leavitt had this five-story Italianate store and loft building put up in 1859-60, matching its neighbor at 79-81 Worth Street. In the late 1860s its occupants included J. A. Brouwer, a maker of neckties and scarfs, and Rease & Ruddock, which made pocketbooks and wallets. In 1921 the Farish Company, a dry-goods dealer founded in 1835 as Clark & Hunt, was there.
