6-story office building originally completed in 1852 as a brownstone rowhouse for Sophia Beach. It was altered for commercial use in 1882. In 1920, the building was given a completely new limestone facade, which was designed by architect Charles C. Thain for owner Abram I. Kaplan. The limestone facade was simplified later in the 20th century and a 3-story, red granite storefront was installed in 1948, which is shared with the neighboring building to the south. The facade is capped by a stepped roof parapet. The ground floor is occupied by John Doe bar & kitchen.
