In 1977, Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager opened a nightclub in the building and became famous.[3][4] It was known for having multiple celebrities, drug use, public sex and sexist policies.[5] In 1980, the club shut down after its founders were convicted for evading taxes.[6][7][8]

It is now owned by the Roundabout Theatre Company.[9]
