4-story Gothic-revival row house completed in 1851. Since 1924, has been occupied by Tiro A Segno of New York,an Italian-American rifle club founded in 1888 (Tiro a Segno is Italian for "hit the target"). In 1952, the rifle range was built in the basement of the No. 73, and the group of buildings underwent extensive renovation in 1957. The main facade is clad in orange brick, with peaked windows on the 2nd floor. The entrances are reached via two tall, sideways stoops, and the roof line is marked by a white metal cornice. The shooting club was founded in 1888, and counted among its members Giuseppe Garibaldi, Enrico Caruso, Fiorello H. LaGuardia, and Lee Iacocca.
