5-story Neo-Grec residential building completed in 1882. Designed by Berger & Baylies as a store-and-loft building for flour merchant Gilbert Oakley. It was later occupied by a wholesale grocer, a meat-packing plant, and after 1946, a coffee, butter and eggs companies. The most recent tenant before its conversion to condominiums was the Wilshire Eggs Company.

The red brick facade is organized into five bays of segmentally-arched windows per floor; the shoulders of the window heads, the springer courses, and the continuous sill courses are black-painted stone. The facade is capped by a corbelled brick entablature and a simple black iron roof cornice. The ground floor is black cast-iron, with a black metal suspended canopy over it. A black iron fire escape also runs down the right side of the facade. The ground floor is occupied by Stella home accessories.
