5-story residential building originally completed in 1868 as a 2-story sausage factory, designed by Richard P. Davis. A third story was added later in the 1800s. It was completely remodeled in the first part of the 20th century, as we see it today, with 5 floors, and a store at ground-level. The facade is a striking study in the art of bricklaying. Here an overall pattern is established, through contrasting bands of brick colors interlocking throughout. It is crowned by a parapet with arched pediment enframing an ornamental brick panel. The ground floor is occupied by Jeffrey's Grocery, and a dry cleaners.
