 store / shop, murder site, townhouse, interesting place, Federal style (architecture)
3.5-story Federal-style residential building originally completed in 1817 as a dwelling for William Dawes. The upper floors are clad in red brick, with red metal cornices over the three bays of windows. Those on the 3rd floor also have red sills with corbelled feet. A pair of peaked dormers with rounded windows rise above the roof line.

In the basement is the site of a well where Gulielma Elmore Sands was dumped in 1799. The well was re-discovered in the 1990s when a restaurant that occupied the building began expanding its wine cellar. It is sometimes accessible in the menswear department
