 office building, commercial building

10-story office building completed in 1923. Designed by George F. Pelham for the Greenwich Bank of New York City, it is clad in white brick above a 2-story limestone base. The double-height ground floor has four dark-red-painted piers with Corinthian capitals dividing the facade into three bays. The wider center bay has a metal-and-glass storefront of three windows, topped by tall, slanted, green canvas awnings. The east end bay contains the entrance to the storefront, and the west end bay has the entrance to the upper floors; above the doorway is a molded panel with an attached image of a German-renaissance house and the words "THE THEATRE GUILD". The 2nd floor is set off by a broad entablature topped by a dentiled cornice, and has 2-over-2 windows in the end bays, with a tripartite window in the middle; the piers are paneled.

The upper floors also have 2-over-2 windows in the end bays, and the middle bays have tripartite windows with metal mullions, except for the 4th floor which has a pair of 2-over-2 windows separated by a wide metal band. The top two floors are faced in limestone and set off by a stone cornice. They match the 2nd floor, and have Corinthian capitals at the tops of the piers. The facade is crowned by a tan roof cornice.

The exposed top floors on the east elevation are clad in orange brick, with four bays of 2-over-2 windows. A vertical sign is mounted on the east edge of the front facade, at the 2nd-3rd floors, and there is a projecting flagpole at the east end of the entablature above the ground floor.
