207 East 36th Street

207 East 36th Street is a five-story commercial building located between Second and Third avenues in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City.

[5] A five-story stable located at 135 West 18th Street was used by horse drawn carriages to deliver items purchased by customers;[5][6][7] as of 2024 the structure still exists as the Altman Building and includes event space used by the adjacent Metropolitan Pavilion.

[10] In 1918, Altman purchased five lots running from 215 to 223 East 36th Street to serve as an addition to the original stable.

[11][12][13] That same year, plans were filed for a five-story fireproof garage on the new property acquired on East 36th Street.

[1][19][20][21] The building was subsequently used as a furniture warehouse and repair factory by John Stuart, Inc. and the United States Postal Service moved into the building by the 1960s, operating the facility as an annex that manually handled parcel post for its Grand Central Station at 450 Lexington Avenue.
