The original tenants were Francis and John Hopkins, who had a glassware business.[6] Beginning c.1920 the building was the location of Knickerbocker Annunciator, a supplier of elevator traveling cable, electronic cable, and annunciators.

The building was converted to mixed commercial and residential use in 1994–95, at which time it was restored.[1] It is currently called the Bogardus Mansion and used for events and musical performances. [7]
