4-story residential building, originally built as a Federal-era house with a peaked roof in 1808. it gained its present appearance through an 1874 alteration, when the fourth floor was added. The cast-iron storefront of Corinthian pilasters supporting an entablature was probably added at the same time. The red brick facade above the ground floor has three bays of windows per story with square heads trimmed in stone; the projecting stone lintels have been cut flush with the facade except for that at the center bay of the 3rd floor. The area where the lintel was above the left 3rd-floor window has been filled with non-matching replacement brick. The cornice above the 4th floor has been removed. This structure has been commercial on the 1st floor and residential above since the late19th century. The ground floor is currently occupied by Greenwich Cleaners & Launderers.
