16-story Beaux-Arts cooperative-apartment building completed in 1908. Designed by William C. Frohne as an office building with a facade of limestone, brick and terra-cotta. It has a 3-story stone base with banded piers, and carved owl figures above the 3rd-story cornice. The piers divide the windows into pairs, with a metal mullion between the panes. The building is crowned by a green copper roof cornice with modillions.

Originally called the Merchants Building, it was converted by Henry George Greene in 1979 to a cooperative-apartment complex that also includes the other eight buildings on the block. The ground floor is occupied by Bath & Body Works, and a Duane Reade pharmacy.
