6-story residential building completed in 1916. Designed by Andrew J. Thomas, it is clad in multi-hued brick. Its first floor has a splendid stone entrance facade facing the park. It is an arched pseudo-loggia, and consists of a single colonnade of engaged Doric columns with five round arches, set behind each of which is a round-arched window and the entrance. Above this stone facade is the brick front wall and an iron balcony running the width of the building and carried on iron brackets. On the upper floors a triple window is offset asymmetrically by a single window, while the middle section of this triple window is a French door opening onto its own little semicircular iron balcony. The roofline is topped by a parapet with finials and an iron railing.

This building protected African-Americans during 1863 Draft Riots. Remodeled as the Burges Chamber Studio, and today serves as apartments.
