5-story Queen Anne-style residential building completed in 1884 for the Young Men's Institute, the first YMCA branch in New York City. It was designed by Bradford Gilbert.

After the YMCA moved out in 1932, painter Fernand Leger used it as a studio in 1940-41, and writer William Burroughs used the locker room as his "Bunker" (1975-81), which he shared with painter Mark Rothko. Later the loft was home to abstract expressionist Michael Goldberg, who died here in 2008.

The ground floor is occupied by GreenDepot cleaning supplies.
