6-story Art-Deco residential building completed in 1938. Designed by Jardine, Murdock & Wright as a store and factory building for the D.P. Harris Hardware Manufacturing Company, who remained in the building through the 1950s. The building remained in commercial use until the late 1990s.

Above the first story, each story of the Church Street facade has nine bays of paired window openings separated by narrow, buff-colored brick piers. Wider brick piers flank the bays. The spandrels are faced in panels of stone aggregate. Above the sixth-story windows are cast-stone panels with abstract Art-Deco patterns, terminating in a stepped form at the parapet. The first story retains its cast-stone storefront framing which is partially obscured by signage. The side facades are each one bay wide and feature the same overall design and articulation of detail as the Church Street facade.
