6-story L-shaped residential building completed in 1903. Designed by Frederick C. Zobel. It is clad in white brick, with plain concrete side walls. The first two floors have banded outer piers, with the ground floor on the West Broadway facade painted red. Above, the facades differ.

The White Street elevation is separated into two main bay of three windows each, with brown metal cornices above the 2nd floor and at the base of the 3rd, and above the 5th floor, where the window groups are segmental-arched. All the windows have brown metal frames. The top floor has an arcade of smaller, square-headed windows, with a brown metal modillioned roof cornice at the top.

The narrower West Broadway elevation has bays of large windows, four panes across, with brown metal frames. At the top floor are four separate windows below the same type of cornice as on White Street. A white metal fire escape runs down the left (north) side of this facade. Typically used for storage and manufacturing purposes in the past, this building is currently residential.
