4-story Queen Anne-style residential building completed in about 1821. Originally a Federal-era dwelling, this building’s fourth story and bracketed cornice, designed by architect George Budlong, were added in 1888 by owners W. & G. Deutermann, at which time the building was converted from a dwelling to a store. It is clad in red-painted brick. The 2nd floor has cornices over the windows, supported by small brackets, except for the west window, which was replaced sometime in the 20th century with a wider version lacking the cornice. The 3rd floor has a rounded pediment above the center window, and triangular pediments above the outer windows. On the 4th floor, the center window has a triangular pediment and the outer windows have flat cornices.

The building continued to be occupied by small businesses until 2009, when it was joined internally with the adjacent building at 149 Grand Street and its upper floors converted to residential space. The ground floor is occupied by John Frieda salon, along with the ground floor of No. 149.
