Three 6-story French-Renaissance residential buildings with a common facade, all completed together in 1891. Designed by Cleverdon & Putzel as warehouses for merchant Frank Seitz, they are painted light grey, with a darker grey ground floor. Each facade is five bays wide, with a metal fire escape. The columns are very narrow and topped with scrolled brackets. There are dentiled cornices above the 3rd and 5th floors, as well as dentils above the ground floor, and decorative carved spandrels between the 2nd & 3rd, and the 4th & 5th floors. The top floor has segmental-arched windows. The main piers dividing the three facades are fluted at the lower half of the 2nd floor, and also at the 4th-5th floors; they have Corinthian capitals below each cornice. The roof cornice is missing on buildings 117-121. The ground floors are occupied by Oakley and Club Monaco apparel.
