1894
Kurzer & Kohl design a narrow brick stable at 95 Bedford Street for Herman Schade
The four-story brick building was designed in 1894 by the architects Kurzer & Kohl for Herman Schade. Three arched windows on the ground floor show that it began as a stable, and the fan-shaped pediment over its cornice recalls the Queen Anne style. It was converted to apartments and offices in 1927.
“…designed for Herman Schade by Kurzer & Kohl, architects, and erected in 1894. The triple-arched, first story windows are a reminder that the building was originally a stable…”

J. Goebel & Co., a crucible firm whose sign reads Est. 1865, moves into the former stable
Julius Goebel, a German immigrant, either made or imported crucibles from a rare German clay, and worked on Maiden Lane in the late 1800s. After Julius died, his son took over and relocated the firm to No. 95 in the 1920s, when the old stable was being turned into offices and apartments. The sign over the stable doors still reads J. Goebel & Co., Est. 1865, with three stacked cups above grapes.
