6-story residential building completed in about 1890. The facade of the ground-floor storefront has been altered several times, now clad in polished pink marble tiles; a decorative metal plate bearing the building’s address number surmounts the off-set doorway. The upper floors are clad in white glazed brick, with five windows on each floor, separated by white stone mullions.

Newspaper articles record two severe fires that damaged the building in 1899 and in 1906. Coverage of the 1899 fire noted that 136 William Street was then occupied entirely by the Berlin-Jones Envelope Company. By the time of the second fire, the C. W. Gaudineer Printing Company and the International Press were also tenants.
