6-story Neo-Renaissance residential building completed in 1909. Designed by Harry Dean as a warehouse for the Greenwich Investing Company, it is clad in orange iron-spot brick. The facade is divided by continuous rough stone sill and lintel courses. At the 2nd floor an exposed cast-iron lintel frames a large, slightly-projecting bay window. At the ground floor rock-faced, granite-banded brick piers and cast-iron intermediate piers frame bay openings. A sheet-metal awning shelters the tall loading platform. The roof cornice has been removed.

Reliable Warehouses, which had several locations in the Tribeca area, leased the building in the 1910s. The Independent Starch
Company used this building as a warehouse from around 1930. It remained it commercial use until around 2000, when it was converted to residential apartments.

The lower level is occupied by Joanne Hendricks Cookbooks which is a shop for rare, vintage, and out-of-print cookbooks, along with classic cocktail books, unique menus, old photographs, and collectible tableware.
