2.5-story residential building completed in 1831 as a townhouse. Some years ago, the stoop was removed to provide a basement entrance, placing the doorway at sidewalk level. A Greek Revival style doorway has been added, with fluted Ionic columns supporting a shallow paneled lintel cut ingeniously to fit below the window sill of the next story, a successful solution for a very shallow clearance. The present entrance level, once the basement, is constructed of handsome rusticated stone and has square windows. Above, it is clad in red brick, with stone corniced lintels. Solid paneled shutters were added in the 1960s.
