6-story Neo-Grec residential building completed in 1873. Designed by Charles Mettam as a store-and-loft building, it has a bright red-painted cast-iron ground floor with a modern plate glass storefront, and upper floors clad in red brick. The four bays of windows have flat stone sills and lintels. A modillioned roof cornice is broken by the ladder for the red-painted metal fire escape.

By 1902, the building was used for light manufacturing; it was converted into a store and warehouse c. 1925. The cornice was cut and altered to accommodate the metal fire escape prior to c. 1940. It is now residential, and the ground floor is occupied by Spice restaurant.
