7-story Renaissance-revival residential building completed in 1892. Designed by Cleverdon & Putzel as a store-and-loft building, with geometric decoration subtly executed in tan brick and brownstone. The facade is four bays wide. The ground floor has brick end piers with brownstone banding, narrow green cast-iron columns, and a broad, green cast-iron lintel with dentils and rosettes. The 2nd-floor windows have brownstone lintels with keystones; the 3rd & 5th floors have brick relieving arches, over narrow brownstone lintels and brownstone sill courses; the 4th & 6th floors have rough, splayed brownstone lintels. The top floor has five bays of square-headed windows topped by an iron roof cornice with dentils, and a short standing-seam mansard. The upper part of the western elevation is plain brown brick.

Through most of the 20th century, tenants were mostly in the garment or hat industries, although some tenants included printers, bookbinders, lamp manufacturers and suppliers of fixtures. Following the Second World War, the commercial spaces were converted to joint live/work quarters by artists in the 1970s. The building was recently reconfigured as condominiums.
