Built 1915 for Robert Gair who was a manufacturer of corrugated paper boxes. By the 1920s, the building was leased to the Charles Williams Stores, a general mail-order firm. The company was actually owned by John Arbuckle, Gair’s friend, and owner of Yuban coffee, another Dumbo-based company.

The Charles Williams Stores were similar to Sears Roebuck, and 1 Main Street was then called Charles Williams Building No. 5, the Executive Building, holding offices for the company president and other officers, as well as general offices and the company’s apparel merchandise.

It was converted to apartments in by David Walentas 1998 and is now a condominium.
