6-story residential building completed in 1905. Designed by Horenburger & Straub as a store-and-tenement building. It is clad in red brick, rusticated on the second floor. The corner facing Seventh Avenue was sliced off when the Avenue was extended south through Greenwich Village, leaving a chamfered corner. It now features two windows at each floor, crowned by lintels with keystones, and framed at the sides by a continuous line of quoin-like brickwork, simulating rustication blocks, which extends through three floors. The other end faces Bedford Street (Nos. 60-62) and the long side, facing south, is 27 Morton Street.

The rest of the outer windows on the 3rd through 5th floors of the facade have a similar treatment, with quoin-like brickwork. The remaining windows, except for those on the 6th floor, have splayed lintels with keystones. Stone band courses delineate the bottom of the 3rd and 6th floors. The roof has a green-painted modillioned cornice.

The northern-facing walls are clad in darker brick and slightly-arched brick lintels in soldier courses as the only ornament. The ground floor is occupied by Morton Street Grocery, and Village Cleaners.
