5-story Neo-Renaissance residential building originally completed in 1858, it attained its present appearance as a result of alterations designed by Patrick F. Brogan in 1903. The two-story base retains its brick piers banded in stone, green-painted cast-iron bay framing, and multipane glass block transoms at the 2nd floor. Faced in red brick, white stone, and terra-cotta, the facade above the 2nd floor has four bays of square-headed windows per story trimmed in stone with keystones. White terra-cotta quoins, elongated sill brackets, and banded brick pilasters further mark the design. The roof cornice has been removed. The lower floors are occupied by Tribeca Plastic Surgery, with apartments on the upper floors.
