 apartment building, 1830s construction

4-story Federal-style residential building completed sometime in 1835 as a row house. The 4th floor was likely added later. From 1857 it housed a bakery and was converted to a tenement by 1907.The ground floor is smooth-stuccoed and painted dark red, with two large plate glass windows. The upper floors are clad in red brick, and the three bays of windows have stone sills with corbelled feet and metal cornices. The building is crowned by a bracketed Italianate-style roof cornice with modillions and dentils, added in the early 20th cenutry. An iron fire escape runs down the right side, dating from 1939.
