5-story Italianate cooperative-apartment building completed in 1860 as a store-and-loft building. It is faced with limestone on the Broome Street side, and red brick on the Greene Street side, above a cream-colored cast-iron base with fluted Corinthian capitals on the columns and pilasters. The primary facade facing Broome has three main sections, each three bays wide, with the center one projected forward. It has circular ornaments at the top of the 2nd & 5th floors, and a balustrade at the bottom of the 2nd floor, which are lacking on the end sections. The end sections, however, have rustications on the piers. All three sections have round-arched windows with keystones on the 3rd & 5th floors, paneled spandrels, and a stone cornice across the top of the 3rd floor. The facade is crowned by three separate roof cornices: the one on the right is plain, while the other two have modillions, and the center cornice has a triangular pediment.

The red-brick Greene Street facade is much more subdued, with plain stone lintels over the windows, thin stone bands connecting the sills, and a simple metal roof cornice. It has six center bays, and end bays with paired windows, joined by their sills and lintels. Both end bays have cream-colored cast-iron at the ground floor, with fluted Corinthian columns and pilasters, as seen on the main facade, and are topped by modillioned cornices. The southern end bay is framed on the upper floors by rusticated stone piers extending up to the 1-bay section of the roof cornice that wraps around the corner. On the ground floor, the center bays have shorter, wider windows set high up, above basement windows at the sidewalk level.

The ground floor is occupied by Kiteya Soho Japanese boutique, Dance With Me Soho, Catherine Malandrino women's wear, and Jack Spade men's store.
