5-story Italianate office building completed in 1857. Designed by Samuel A. Warner as a speculative commercial building, its six bays of window openings have segmental-arched openings in molded enframements with flat projecting heads at the 2nd, 3rd & 4th floors. The top floor has round-arched windows. Bracketed stone sills further mark the design. The facade is crowned by a bracketed stone cornice. The original storefront framing, consisting of fluted cast-iron columns and piers supporting a cast-iron entablature with a dentiled stone cornice, survives at the first story.

From the 1890s through 1940s, it was owned by and contained office of B.F. Goodrich & Co. The building remains in office use today, with retail on the ground floor.
