3-story French Second-Empire residential building originally completed in 1827 as a 2.5-story Federal-style townhouse. It was remodeled around 1870 in the French Second-Empire style with the addition of a mansard roof containing a full third story. An unusual, geometrically paneled fascia board serves as a base for the slate mansard roof, while at its top, a delicate cast iron cresting is silhouetted against the sky. Two handsome segmental-arched dormers pierce the mansard.

The windows of the entrance story were cut down to floor-length and protected by attractive cast iron railings. The double, glasspaneled entrance doors were added later.
