5-story Neo-Grec residential building completed in 1882. It is faced in grey smooth-stucco, with the exposed east elevation clad in grey-painted brick with no openings. The central entrance has a glass-and-metal door with a small clamshell canopy on top. There is a narrow 2-over-2 window on either side.

The upper floors have four bays of single-windows with projecting surrounds including eared lintels (painted white), and bracketed sills on the 3rd-5th floors. A grey metal fire escape runs down the middle two bays of the facade, which is crowned by a grey metal roof cornice with scrolled brackets and panels.
