5-story Italianate residential building completed in 1857 as a store-and-loft building. It is clad in brownstone above a black cast-iron ground floor featuring a triangular pediment over the doorway. The upper-floor windows are segmental-arched, with projecting stone sills with corbelled feet. A black iron fire escape runs down the center of the facade, which is topped by a black bracketed metal roof cornice.

In the late 1890s the building contained bottle and lithography suppliers. In the 1940s, it housed the Midland Shoe Corporation. It is presently residential with Khe-Yo restaurant on the ground level.
