While the date of construction is shown in city records as 1910, the address appears as that of Mrs. L Hagedorn in a book listing liquor wholesalers dating from 1875. It appears again in 1888 as the address of an architect named Jacob S. Hausman who is credited with designing several buildings on the Upper East Side. By 1895 the address is credited to Antonio Palmero who, by resolution of the city council and endorsement by his local alderman, was permitted to erect a stand for the “sale of fruit, soda-water, newspapers and periodicals within the stoopline” of the building.
For most of the late 20th Century, the building, then just 3 stories, was home to several clubs and res-taurants, including one owned by John Klett who received a liquor license for the property in the 1940s, Hurlihey’s Restaurant in the 1980s, and most recently, Spice Restaurant which presently occupies it.
The second floor of the building was seating for the various restaurants until being renovated in about 1997 when two additional floors were added to create a triplex apartment and second floor office space. In 2016 the second floor was converted to a two bedroom residential apartment and the certificate of occupancy amended to reflect that status.
