The four-story building was constructed for Modulightor, a company that Rudolph co-founded to sell light fixtures. It has seen commercial and residential uses, and later housed a gallery on its top floors. The gallery exhibited "Paul Rudolph: The Personal Laboratory" in 2018.<ref name="NYT 2018"/><ref name="6sqft"/> The building currently holds Modulightor's fabrication center in the basement and on the first floor; the remaining spaces house the Paul Rudolph Institute for Modern Architecture and several duplexes. One of these duplexes is occupied by Ernst Wagner, the building's owner.<ref>{{cite news|last=Gallow|first=Lauren|date=September 2021|title=The Modulightor Building |url=https://readcereal.com/modulightor/|work=Cereal Magazine}}</ref>
