Mae West is famous for a lot of things, some of which are true. But there is no truth to the well-peddled rumor that she lived at 96 Berry Street (now Teddy's Bar). Or that her dad worked there. Or that she is in any way related to Doelger beer family (memorialized in the stained glass storefront of Teddy's Bar).

Hugh Roberts was a local mason who developed these three buildings at the corner of Noble Street and Lorimer Street, as well as the buildings to the south on Lorimer and east on Noble. Architect in the Real Estate Record is listed as "E. J. E. and G. J. Roberts", perhaps a relation to Hugh Roberts; the Greenpoint Historic District designation report lists the architect as E. S. Evans. Evans is listed as the architect for other Roberts projects in the designation report. The Robertses cited in the Real Estate Record may be the builders.
