6-story Collegiate Georgian-style residential building completed in 1907. Designed by Lawlor & Haase, it is clad in red and brown brick a spotted pattern, with white stone trim, 11 bays across. The main round-arched entrance door at street level has a handsome balustraded balcony carried on two modified Ionic columns. The brickwork is of Flemish bond, and above a strong horizontal stone band course at third floor level, the brick walls rise sheer with linteled windows displaying elaborate keystones. Six handsome, fluted Corinthian pilasters enframe the five central windows above the band course and extend to Corinthian capitals which support the cornice at the sixth floor level, which creates an attic story for the top floor.

The building is crowned by a heavy roof cornice with dentils below the modillions which support it. Paired lion heads on the cyma recta molding of the cornice are located above the solid wall spaces between the windows. An ornamental wrought iron balcony is extended across the third floor at the base of the pilasters.
