3-story Romanesque-revival residential building originally completed in the 1860s or '70s as a stable. The first floor was later converted to a restaurant, and the two upper floors became apartments, with the residential entrance on MacDougal Alley. The building is faced in light-colored brick, and has round-arched doorways and segmental-arched windows with dentiled hoods. The upper floors have small iron balconettes at the windows.

A big north-light studio window fills the width of the third floor at the rear and its incline is reflected in the angle of the north end of the side wall facing MacDougal Street. There is a dentiled cornice at the roof line. Both the west and south elevations have narrow round-arched doorways. The ground floor is now occupied by Hong Wah Laudromat.
