5-story residential building completed in 1889. The front facade is surfaced in beige stucco. The ground floor has a tall plate-glass storefront on the left, and a slightly shorter storefront on the right, next to a concealed service door; both are framed by paneled pilasters. In between the storefronts is the central entrance, with a deeply-recessed, red wooden door with three glass squares. A cornice caps the ground floor.

The upper floors have four bays of single-windows with very thin sills. The area around the two middle bays is slightly recessed and banded, and there is a beige metal fire escape running down these two bays. The facade is capped by a simple metal coping. The ground floor is occupied by Adel Atelier salon.
