3-story Federal-style residential building completed in 1834 as a 2.5-story townhouse for Jonathan I. Coddington. Three bays wide, it is clad in red brick, with a well-preserved Federal doorway featuring attenuated, fluted Ionic columns supporting a deep transom bar, and a simple glass transom accented by a lintel with keystone. The doorway is now crowned by a Neo-Grec pediment supported on short brackets. That the house was originally two and one-half stories and later raised to three is indicated by the change from Flemish bond to the running brickwork above. The building's bracketed and paneled roof cornice is a later addition, typical of the 1850s.
