155-foot, 10-story office building completed in 1921. Designed by McKenzie, Voorhees & Gmelin as a warehouse for Western Union Electric Co., and formerly known as the Hudson Carpenters' Union, the red brick building is accented with limestone bands at the first and eighth floors, as well as at the cornice and sills.

The Hudson Street facade has seven main bays, each divided horizontally into four panes (except for the 2nd floor, which has wider center panes), end bays divided into three panes, and single windows flanking the center main bay, above the 2-story entrance with its large circle at the 2nd floor. On the north and south elevations, the 9-story east portion of the building extends 12 bays, with the lower 5-story west section extending a further four bays on the south side, and three bays with a single-window end bay on the north. The western facade has eight bays between the narrower end bays, lacking the single windows seen on the opposite side fronting Hudson Street.

The ground floor is occupied by a Dunkin Donuts, Baskin Robbins, and Professional Evaluation Medical Group. Tenants include Carpenters Union: Local 1556, Newsweek, Hot 97, Kiss FM, and Thomson Financial.
