6-story Neo-Renaissance building completed in 1924. Earlier it was the Perazzo Funeral Home, now the Greenwich Village Funeral Home. The building was designed by M.W. Del Gaudio as a tenement, with a facade of red brick over a white stone ground floor. The entrance is set beneath a wide segmental-arch, flanked by a smaller round-arched doorway on either side. Each arch has a keystone, and there are two round oriel windows between the tops of the arches. The arches each have colored tile designs.

The upper floors have three bays of double windows with stone sills and brick headers. A pair of diamond-shaped stone ornaments are in each spandrel between the floors' outer bays. In the center is a rust-colored metal fire escape. A stone band courses runs across the base of the top floor, which has shallow segmental-arches over the outer bays. The facade is crowned by a roof cornice with a shallow rounded-pediment. The exposed side walls are surfaced in plain concrete.
