6-story Romanesque-revival residential building completed in 1905. Designed by Bernstein & Bernstein, it has a ground-floor storefront, separated by a cornice from the red brick-clad upper floors. The windows are crowned by elaborate splayed or frame-like lintels with keystones. The corner sections, each two windows wide, are set slightly forward creating a tower effect at the corner.

There at second floor level, the windows have special rusticated frames with large swagged consoles serving as keystones. The rusticated top floor has arched windows set above a sill-level belt course. The metal roof cornice has console supports and swags in the fascia. The cornice over the stores has a similarly decorated fascia. The ground floor is currently occupied by Extra Virgin restaurant, and Sant Ambroeus restaurant.
