6-story Romanesque-revival residential building completed in 1891. Designed by Richard Berger as a store-and-loft building, it has an orange brick upper facade with a rusticated second story, round arched windows at the top story, and a corbelled brick cornice. The windows have flat sandstone sills and lintels. Brick piers and white secondary cast-iron piers frame the narrow openings of the base in which some historic doors and transoms remain. A white metal fire escape runs down the right two-thirds of the facade.

The building was leased in 1910 by Gabriel Nachman who was in the wool trade and, later, the produce business. In 1944 the building was equipped with a refrigeration room for the cold storage of butter. It has since been converted for residential usage.
