One of the retail locations was once occupied by potter and designer Jonathan Adler, before he relocated to a larger space down the road at 53 Greene Street.

Diana Agostini of Les Pieds Nickel, daughter of sculptor Peter Agostini, was the seller. She bought the building in 1972.

Eastern Consolidated CEO Peter Hauspurg represented the seller, while Eastern’s Deborah Gutoff and Prime Manhattan Residential’s Robert Dankner represented the buyer, EMP Capital.
