The stories these walls could tell!
This unique space has seen its share of the artistic dynamism of the Village. Home to one of two sisters who fled the cultural wasteland of suburban New Jersey in the 1950s. This artist's salon-like space attracted painters, writers, social organizers and musicians for spirited conversation and sharing of artistic ideas. The operatic arias of the Julliard-trained owner were juxtaposed with the gritty originality of her sister, a 10th Street abstract expressionist painter and sculptor, founder of the March Gallery and denizen of the Cedar Bar. She is an artist featured in the Sotheby's Contemporary Discoveries Auction. A treasure trove of artists such as Franz Kline, de Kooning, Pollock, Motherwell, and Lee Krasner influenced these paint-spattered floors.
Originally built in 1919, The Jensen Lewis Building was designed by Henry F. Kilburn as a factory for Street & Smith Publications, Inc. a New York City publisher specializing in inexpensive paperbacks and magazines referred to as dime novels and pulp fiction. They also published comic books and sporting yearbooks.
