5-story Neo-Grec residential building completed in 1890. Designed by William Graul as a store-and-loft building, the facade is composed of a 1-story base, of which the original black cast-iron piers remain, and a red brick upper facade which reveals the two twenty-five- foot wide halves of the building separated by a partition wall. The simple facade is enriched with elements characteristic of the neo-Grec style: vertical brick header patterns and rock-faced granite bands which appear as pilaster capitals between the windows; granite lintels meet the pilaster capitals, creating strong horizontal accents of staggered bands. Decorative tie-rod plates enhance the facade. The ground floor has paneled grey wood infill between the piers, and transoms with criss-crossed metal grilles.

One of the first occupants of the building in the 1890s was candy manufacturer George Anspach; during much of the first half of the twentieth century Thomas Van Loan's "Arrow Mills" coffee and spice mill operation was located in the building. It was converted to residential use in the 1980s. The ground floor is occupied by Younghee Salon.
