10-story Northern Renaissance-revival residential building completed in 1895. Designed by Cleverdon & Putzel as a warehouse, it later contained small manufacturing lofts throughout most of the 20th century, and then joint living/working quarters on the upper floors, before being converted to condominiums in the 2000s.

The facade is four bays wide, divided into five vertical stages. Stage 1 is a 2-story base with decorative grey-green cast-iron columns at storefront level supporting foliate lintel with dentils. The 2nd-floor show windows have transoms, rope-molding surrounds, and a surmounting elaborate terra-cotta molding. Stage 2 has buff-colored brick with terra-cotta band courses and grouped windows separated by cast-iron columns within an elaborate terra-cotta surround. Stage 3 has buff-colored brick piers, bowed terra-cotta spandrels, bracketed cast-iron columns, and terra-cotta bases of the Stage 4 piers.

Stage 4 has semi-circular brick piers and recessed, grouped windows separated by cast-iron columns within elaborate terra-cotta surrounds. Stage 5 has grouped windows, a paneled parapet (simplified between 1910 and 1938) with central elaborate terra-cotta decoration and cement-stucco surface. The ground floor is occupied by Basic Basic apparel.
