7-story Renaissance-revival residential building completed in 1901. Designed by Schneider & Herter as a tenement, it is surfaced in brown stucco and terra-cotta. The West 3rd Street facade is four bays wide, and the Sullivan Street elevation spans 11 bays. There is horizontal banding on the 2nd floor, and various dentiled or carved band courses across different floors. There are pale-yellow eared stone lintels over the windows of the 2nd, 3rd, 6th & 7th floors, and round-arched windows on the 4th & 5th floors. Both facades have black wrought-iron fire escapes with basket-style landings and are topped by black metal roof cornices. The ground floor is occupied by Peanut Butter & Co., Third Rail Coffee, and J.W. Market. There is a twin building one block over at 116 West 3rd, with only a differing color scheme.
