3-story Federal-style residential building originally completed in 1834 as a townhouse for renters. It is clad in orange brick, three bays wide, above a brownstone basement. The doorway is late Federal in style, with a paneled door flanked by rusticated reveals of wood which, in turn, provide a background for a pair of slender, fluted Ionic columns on either side. The elaborately molded transom bar, with convex (pulvinated) frieze, is blocked forward at the ends to receive these columns. Above is a large glass transom with muntins of geometrical design, surrounded by an ornate molding. The windows on the upper floors have white stone sills and metal cornices. At the top is a white metal cornice with thin brackets, identical to that on No. 124.
