5-story residential building completed sometime in the late 1800s, at the same time as the matching facade of No. 635 next door. No. 633 is clad in red brick above a darker brick, stone and glass storefront, with the entrance to the upper floors on the right, and the ground floor topped by a steep-angled shingle awning. The upper floors have four bays of windows; at the 2nd floor, the original two north windows have been replaced by a tripartite window, with a dark-brown metal cornice. The other windows have bracketed sills, and cornice with arched bottoms and seashells at the center of the top edges. A black metal fire escape runs down the middle two bays of the facade, which is crowned by a replacement, black metal roof cornice with large console brackets. The ground floor is occupied by Piccinini Bros. Prime Meat, Poultry and Game distributing.
