4-story townhouse originally completed in the 1860s, and rebuilt in 1920 as part of the Turtle Bay Gardens complex. It is one of 20 townhouses with differing but complementary designs surrounding a central area of gardens. The architects Edward C. Dean and William L. Bottomley altered the brownstones in two major ways: they shaved off the old facades, replacing them with light, pastel stucco in a variety of Flemish and Regency styles facing the street and Mediterranean styles facing the interior. And they reoriented the houses, placing the service areas on the street and the principal living and entertainment areas facing the garden.

The building now houses the Offices of the Consul-General of Ukraine. The 3-bay facade is surfaced in tan stucco, behind an iron fence. The ground floor has two segmental-arched windows at the left, and a square-headed, paneled, black wooden door on the right. The upper floors have 2-over-4 windows, with a projecting flagpole at the center, between the 2nd & 3rd floors. The roof line is marked by a parapet with alternating recessed and projecting panels, and a stone coping with pineapple urns at the piers.
