It was built in 1847–1848 and designed by the firm of Trench & Snook in the Italianate style, one of the city's earliest structures in this style, which Joseph Trench had brought to New York with his design for 280 Broadway in 1845.

His partner, John B. Snook, was responsible for many cast-iron buildings in SoHo.

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows used the building until the 1880s, when they moved uptown with the city's population.

[3][4] The building was designated a New York City landmark in 1982, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
