The building at 9 Minetta Street was put up under an 1883 new-building filing, designed by A. B. Ogden for the owner Emeline Johnston. It is a five-story brick tenement with neo-Grec details such as stone lintels and dogtooth brick courses between the windows. In 1927 the architect Matthew Del Gaudio renovated it and replaced the entrance, and the pointed-arch doorway probably dates from that work.

A filing proposes turning the 1883 tenement at 9 Minetta Street into one single-family house
In February 2013 Village Preservation reported that a permit application sought a gut renovation of 9 Minetta Street into a one-family townhouse, apparently the first tenement-to-mansion conversion in the South Village. The group's research showed the building was put up in 1883 as an old-law tenement for 20 families, with a new ground-floor entrance in 1927 and fire escapes in 1941. It also noted that some units had been used as an apparently illegal hotel.
