3-story residential building completed in 1853 as a townhouse for William W. Berwick. The original stone stoop has been replaced by a raised basement entrance. Its three bays of narrow paneled window lintels have unusual upward "ears," a Twentieth Century version of the Federal style, which is echoed by the paneled lintel of the elaborate doorway. The panels below the short second floor windows were added at this time, echoing those of their neighbor at No. 74. The basement level is faced in smooth stone, while the upper floors have been covered in stucco, painted pale blue. At the top is a white metal roof cornice with modillions.
