5-story Italianate residential building completed in 1868. Designed by George Youngs as a store-and-loft building, it has a grey cast-iron ground floor with Corinthian columns and a modillioned cornice. Over the base, the white marble Italianate style facade is divided into two two-story arcades by a projecting band course. Double-height pilasters on tall bases support the lower segmental-arched arcade and the upper round-arched arcade. Recessed spandrels with embossed diamond and circle motifs separate the coupled stories. Rusticated end piers rise the height of the upper facade. A paneled frieze with a bracketed marble cornice crowns the building.

The building's brick western elevation faces Staple Street and is articulated by three bays of plain window openings at each story crowned by an iron cornice. All the windows on this side have iron shutters.
