5-story Neo-Grec/Queen-Anne office building completed in 1880 as a store-and-loft building. Designed by D. & J. Jardine, it is clad in red brick with terra-cotta ornament. Each floor has three bays of square-headed window openings which have ornamented stone lintels and rounded bands of brick dentils below the sills. The pilasters between the windows have terra-cotta capitals with leaves and rosettes, and square panels with rosettes flank the spandrels. The sheet-metal cornice surmounts an ornamental brick frieze.

The Cortlandt Alley elevation is faced in brick with stone trim and is three bays wide. An iron fire escape fronts the two southern bays. This elevation has a double-height cast-iron base in which roll-down security gates cover most openings. The ground floor is occupied by 212 Modern Furniture.
