6-story Romanesque-revival residential building completed in 1892. Designed by Bloodgood & Bloodgood as a store-and-loft building, it has a ground floor of narrow light-grey cast-iron piers, cornice, wooden transoms, and shopfront doors and windows with paneled bulkheads. A fixed metal awning suspended from metal rods extends over this floor. Above, it is clad in orange brick, with seven bays symmetrically arranged on the facade, with the end piers and the central bay projecting slightly. Each floor is articulated by projecting sill courses and contrasting stone lintel courses. The Romanesque Revival style is articulated by the round-arched, arcaded windows of the top floor and the paneled brick parapet with a central pavilion which crowns the facade.

Shortly after its construction, this building was leased to liquor merchant Henry Kroger. In the 1920s, this building, like Nos. 345 and 347 to the south, was owned by the Phoenix Cheese Company. In 1943 it was purchased by the Bazzini family and leased to food distributing companies, including the Manhattan Egg Company. In the late 1900s the Bazzini Company gave the building a mixed use: parts of the building serves as a warehouse and there were also several residential units. Today, it has completely been converted to condominiums, except for the ground floor, which is occupied by Dean's restaurant.
