5-story Italianate residential building completed in 1856 as a store-and-loft building. In the 1880s, it was leased to wool brokers O.N. Purdy & Sons. Later tenants included shoe wholesalers such as Blog Shoe Finding Co., Levy Bros. Shoe Co., and the Mutual Shoe Co. The building is currently commercial at the grey-painted first story and residential above. The upper floors are faced in brownstone, with red diamond-shape tie rod bolts on the edges of the facade. The windows are segmental-arched, and a red metal fire escape runs down the center of the facade, which is topped by a red modillioned roof cornice. The ground floor is occupied by Takahachi restaurant.
