 Romanesque (architecture), apartment building, 1887_construction

5-story Romanesque-revival residential building completed in 1887. The facade incorporates two building sections, each with its own entrance under a small canopied porch, and is enlivened at the fifth story by a bold series of blind arches above the windows. Above this are several courses of brickwork, corbeled out to form an interesting base to the cornice. The roofline is topped by a prominent cornice. Iron balconies are located on the central section of windows, and a pair of fire escapes with balconies run down either side of the building.
