6-story Italianate residential building completed in 1907. Designed by Charles M. Straub, it is clad in grey-brown brick above a white stuccoed ground floor with brown-painted cast-iron framing. The Mott Street facade's upper floors have a single-window center bay, flanked on either side by a double-window bay and three more single-window bays. The floors all have horizontal brick banding, with brick quoins at the edges above the 2nd floor. The 2nd-floor and top-floor windows have brown-painted splayed stone lintels, while the other floors have molded lintels. The windows on each floor are joined by continuous sill courses, with dentils at the 3rd and 6th floors. The facade is topped by a simple roof parapet.

The south elevation facing Houston Street is faced in plain smooth stucco, with a central recessed light court, which is echoed on the north side. The south-facing wall of the light court has three bays of regular-sized windows, separated by two narrower, smaller window columns. The west- and east-facing walls both have two bays, and iron fire escapes. There is another fire escape on the rear facade.
