3-story Greek-revival building originally erected in about 1816 as a dwelling. According to tax assessment records, a house first appears on this lot in 1816, which was owned by John H. McIntosh. It changed hands a number of times in the 1830s and 40s, at which time the current Greek Revival style facade featuring projecting window sills and denticulated brick cornice may have been built. By 1882, the house had a store in the first floor, although its upper floors remained residential until 1960, when they were converted to office space. They are clad in white-painted brick and span four bays, with a small black iron fire escape over the northern bay. The ground floor is occupied by Golden Bridge Yoga.
