 apartment building, 1906_construction, Renaissance Revival (architecture)

6-story Renaissance-revival residential building completed in 1906. Designed by Bernstein & Bernstein as a tenement, it is clad in grey and dark-red iron spot brick. The ground floor has a wide central storefront of brown metal and glass, flanked by two small building entrances with glass-and-metal doors, and two smaller storefronts at the ends.

The upper floors have 12 bays of single-windows, with continuous limestone sill courses at the 2nd, 3rd & 6th floors. At the 2nd floor the four middle bays, and the two outer bays on each end, have beveled limestone surrounds with scrolled keystones. The rest of the windows have splayed stone lintels with scale patterns at the ends and cartouches in the center, except for at the top floor, where the tops of the windows meet the fascia board of the black metal roof cornice, which has decoratively carved panels. There are also two grey metal fire escapes running down the two halves of the facade. The ground floor is occupied by GRÜM'D barber shop, David Ryan Salon, and Wood Floor Planet.
