6-story Romanesque-revival cooperative-apartment building completed in 1892. Designed by William H. Hume as a factory for Michael J. Mahoney, it is clad in red brick with sandstone and terra-cotta ornament. The ground floor has white cast-iron framing with decorative capitals and a dentiled entablature.

The 5th floor has two large round-arches with three windows above and below each one. Sandstone lintels connect the windows, and the piers have intricate carved stone capitals at the top of the 4th floor. Rounded black iron balconies connect the fire escape. The roof line is marked by a metal cornice with heavy modillions.

The building has been occupied by a variety of commercial interests, including a manufacturer of steam heaters, a paper box factory, a galvanized iron workshop, a maker of surgical instruments, an art embroiderer, the United States Bread Co., the Forbes paper Co., and more in the late 1990s, the Margaret Roeder Gallery. The building has now been converted to residential use, with the ground floor occupied by Lumas Gallery.
