3-story Italianate school building originally completed in 1851 as two rowhouses. A single principal basement entrance for the two buildings, at No. 46, has replaced the two original stoops, and the cornice has been eliminated. Wrought iron railings, with a clef musical symbol, appear at their second floor level.

The school is a project of the Greenwich House settlement house launched in 1905 and based here since 1914. Its students have included John Cage, Harry Chapin, Henry Cowell and Edgard Varese.
