7-story Romanesque-revival residential building completed in 1885. Designed by Richard Berger, it was erected at the same time as the slightly narrower No. 32 next door, with an almost identical design. The orange brick facade trimmed with a darker shade of brick blends neo-Grec ornament with the arcaded form; three 2-story tiers of single window bays have arches which spring from angled rock-faced sandstone imposts. Paneled spandrels and decorative tie-rod plates and a brick arcaded parapet and cornice complete the facade. Cast-iron piers and engaged columns, cast by the Lindsay Graff & Megouier foundry, support the cast-iron lintel and sheet-metal cornice of the base, where historic wood-framed transom windows and one set of folding paneled wood doors remain. The facade is spanned by a loading platform, which extends across the two buildings in the pair. The exposed eastern brick elevation is windowless.

The Burton & Davis wholesale grocery firm purchased the building in 1914. A later tenant was the Lilydale Farms Company. The building continued to be used as a warehouse by an importing firm until it was renovated in 2014 in a residential conversion to condominiums.
