You have forgotten the upstairs tenants of this building, with the entrance on Perry Street. It was the original home of the Music Loft, then became High Strung Music, now home of Ninth Street Dance.

Agree with Anonymous! Also I noticed the 1950 Sanborn Map says "Lodge Hall 2nd" - anyone remember what Lodge was there?

You are right - I did forget them. I was looking at the city directories for the Ninth St. addresses only, not the Perry St. addresses. I'll try to get back to them to look up the past upstairs tenants. (Or feel free to do it for me!)

I remember as a child in the 1950's my mother would attend the Union meetings periodically that were held in the upstairs space. I remember it as a mostly open space, with a lot of wood. She would sometimes take minutes of the meetings.
