History

Commerce Street is steeped in history - the hallmark is its unique nearly 90-degree bend, which creates an enchanting atmosphere of old world charm. Nestled on this L-shaped block, 36 Commerce Street was built in 1841 for Alexander McLachlan, who owned a brewery at the neighboring 38 Commerce Street. During the 1920s the brewery was converted into the famous bohemian Cherry Lane Theater, and Commerce Street became part of a thriving artist and writer community.
