4-story residential building completed in 1851 as a townhouse for Dr. J.O. Smith. It is clad in brick with stone lintels above the three bays of windows, and a black modillioned roof cornice and a sloping mansard above. The second floor full length windows have been replaced by steel French doors. An interesting old fire escape provides full width balconies for the two upper floors, terminating in a handsome Italianate cast iron balcony outside the left-hand second floor window.
