4-story Italianate residential building completed in 1855 as a 3-story townhouse. It has been modernized to provide a basement entrance at the street level, bringing it to four floors. The 3-bay facade is clad in red brick, with segmental-arched window openings, except at the east bay of the 2nd floor, where the original entrance at the top of a stoop was. The cast iron lintels are also arched, with shoulders, and are decorated with a row of diminutive acanthus leaves. These segmental arches are handsomely echoed in the white roof cornice by the three molded arches along the base of its fascia, and again by the curving lines of the panels within it. The acanthus leaf motif is repeated prominently on the paired brackets supporting the cornice.
