4-story Federal-style residential building originally completed in about 1830 as a 2.5-story row house for Henry Hopper. he building had an added rear extension (along Prince Street) prior to the 1850s and was then raised to three stories in 1866 under the ownership of John C. Hashagen. Hashagen was a grocer who had his business on the ground floor and lived in an apartment above. In 1869, Hashagen raised the building to four stories. It was during one of these 1860s alterations that a metal Italianate bracketed cornice with paneled frieze was added. The facade is clad in red brick with brownstone lintels and sills, and has a bracketed roof cornice with paneled fascia board. Some of the window openings on the Prince Street side have been bricked-in, and a red metal fire escape covers the three bays on Sullivan Street. The ground floor is occupied by Soho News International newsstand in a modern storefront.
