History
[edit]
The building was built in 1917 for Bethlehem Steel Corporation, which used it as an administrative building while it owned the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation operations on adjacent Pier 70.[3]
Building 101 was originally intended to house offices for 350 people, including executives, draftsmen, and naval architects, and included blueprint facilities. By 1945, it also included a Navy cafeteria and a private branch exchange for telephone service.[4]
The structure has five-stories and 80,000 square feet (7,400 m2) of space. It was renovated and redesigned into a furniture gallery and restaurant by RH. It opened in 2022.
