 apartment building, 1871_construction
5-story residential building completed in 1871. Designed by John B. Snook as a store-and-loft building for John D. Wolfe. Wolfe, who had earned a large fortune as a hardware merchant, invested his wealth in real estate. Wolfe served as vice president of the New York Hospital and president of the Museum of Natural History. The building's uses were typical of the district: ground-story store and showroom and shipping facility; second-story offices; and upper-story factory. The upper floors were converted to apartments in the late 1980s.
