4-story Italianate residential building completed in 1851 as a rowhouse. Edwin P. Smith, the owner in the early 1880s, altered the building for use as a hotel and added a rear extension. It was partially converted to commercial use in 1900 with the construction of a double-height storefront. The ground story, now altered by a modern glass and and metal storefront, is surmounted by an iron-framed, four-part show window with transoms at the ends. A shallow roof cornice is capped by a sloped, metal parapet with the inscription "Charles R. Ruegger 1929", the owner of the building at that time. It was converted to apartments in the late 1900s.

The ground floor is occupied by a Deli & Grocery.
