5-story residential building completed in the 1880s. It is clad in orange-red brick (painted red at the ground floor), with a grey cast-iron storefront on the ground floor at the west end. The storefront has a slightly recessed entrance and is covered by an angled, green canvas awning, also covering the short extension of the storefront onto the south facade. Continuing east along the ground floor on 48th Street, there are four openings (the eastern one being narrower), with iron grilles over the windows; the 2nd opening has been filled-in. A band of white-painted stone joins each of these, rising up and over the tops. At the sidewalk level below the first opening is a round-arch with a keystone - originally a basement window, now bricked-in. There is also a decorative recessed panel below the 3rd openings, and all three windows have painted, projecting stone sills. Further east is the main building entrance, with a wood-and-glass door recessed in a molding; the door is atop two steps and enclosed by an iron gate. At the east end are various storefront windows and glass doors; two of the display windows have green canvas awnings.

The upper floors have four bays of single-windows facing the avenue, with white stone sills and lintels, joined by stone bands between the sills and at the shoulders of the windows. Between the 2nd & 3rd floors are spandrel panels with dogstooth brickwork patterns; there are simpler recessed spandrel panels above. A black iron fire escape runs down the middle two bays of the facade, which is crowned by a light-grey metal roof cornice with brackets, dentils, and decorative panels.

The longer south facade has two bays of single-windows at each end, both separated by a wide area of projecting brick with various geometric patterns, including vertical grooves at the 2nd-3rd floors, diamond shapes at the 4th floor, and cross shapes as the top floor. There are five bays of single-windows in the middle, with the center one being wider. All the windows have similar stone sills and lintels to those on the west elevation. Projecting columns of brick also set off the two outer bays of the middle section; both of these are narrower at the 2nd floor (with a single vertical groove) and widen at the 3rd floor (where they have three grooves); they have cross shapes at the 4th floor, and stone panels at the tops. A differently designed projecting brick column divided the middle bay of the center section from the one to the east. It also has a single groove at the 2nd floor, but it horizontally banded at the 3rd, and has a wide groove at the 4th. All the window bays have matching dogstooth and simpler recessed spandrel panels like those on the west facade, and the roof cornice continues onto this facade as well. The ground floor is occupied by Fountain House Gallery, Hell's Kitchenette Gourmet Deli, and Carlos Income Tax/Midtown Bookkeeping Services.
