12-story Neo-Gothic office building completed in 1911. Designed by Victor Hugo Koehler as a store-and-loft building, it spans through the block to Mercer Street. The Broadway facade is clad in stone and white marble, with rusticated piers on the ground floor. The 2nd floor has large, round-cornered windows. The upper floors are divided into a wide center bay of five windows, and two end bays of two windows each. There are intricately carved spandrel panels between each floor, and a stone cornice above the 10th floor. The ground floor is occupied by It'Sugar candy store.

The Mercer side is clad in beige brick on the first two floors, with tan brick on the upper floors. The windows are paired, with metal mullions between the panes. During the Great Depression, the building was owned by the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank, and continued to house small manufacturing firms until was converted to offices in the late 1980s. The building now housed the NYU Admissions offices, and also the College of Global Public Health, Steinhardt's Communicative Sciences and Disorders department, and Tisch's Moving Image Archiving & Preservation Program on the 9th-11th floors.
