In 1913 the novelist Willa Cather and her partner Edith Lewis moved to 5 Bank Street, a house that once stood at this corner before the present apartment building. Village Preservation says her novels O Pioneers! and My Antonia were written there. She won the Pulitzer Prize in 1922 for One of Ours, and in 1927 she published Death Comes for the Archbishop.

Edgar J. Nathan has a medieval-flavored apartment house built on the Bank Street corner
This six-story corner apartment building, which also fronts Bank Street, was put up in 1928-29 for Edgar J. Nathan. The architects, Gronenberg & Leuchtag, borrowed medieval and Romanesque touches, among them alternating courses of headers and stretchers in the brickwork and peaked gables at both ends of the facade.
