 cooperative, apartment building

9-story Neo-Classical cooperative-apartment building completed in 1916. Designed by Robert Lyons, it is clad in buff-colored brick above a 2-story limestone base with a tan granite water table. The central entrance has glass-and-metal double-doors set in a molded enframement. Scrolled brackets support a dentiled cornice over the doors, and a rounded, green canvas canopy extends out over the sidewalk. Paired, 2-story pilasters flank the central bay, and a broad band course runs across the top of the base, with dentils at the slightly-projecting center section.

There are four bays of single-windows at the middle of each floor (the eastern window is narrower above the 2nd floor), and double-windows in the end bays. At the ground floor the windows have iron grilles, and the east double-window is replaced by a metal service door and single-window. Above the base the end bays are framed by regular brick quoins. The windows all have brick lintels and stone sills.

A narrow string course runs below the 8th floor, with narrow iron balconettes fronting the end bays and the middle of the center section. 2-story brick pilasters adorn the piers between the four middle bays on the 8th-9th floors, with stylized capitals featuring urns; panels with cartouches top the bands of quoins, and there are diamond shapes above the top-floor windows. The facade is crowned by a bracketed, black metal roof cornice.

The building was converted to a co-op in 1983 and contains 36 apartments.
