The building was constructed as the printing facility of J. Ottmann Lithographic Company as a seven-story structure, with a nine-story structure added on in 1892.
The building was the longtime home of Puck magazine, which gave the building its name; Founded in Saint Louis in 1871, the magazine moved into the building in 1887 and remained there until it ceased publication in 1918.
The building sports two gilded statues by sculptor Henry Baerer of Shakespeare’s character Puck, from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, one on the northeast corner at Houston and Mulberry, and one over the main entrance on Lafayette.
