3-story Romanesque-revival residential building completed in 1897. Designed by Henry Andruss, Jr. as a stable for Charles Pearsall. In 1926 it was remodeled into apartments by architect Harris V. Hartman, with care to change very little of the exterior. It is clad in brick (red on the ground floor, and beige above) with quoins at the edges and a deep roof cornice with horizontally placed console brackets.

The Romanesque features are to be found in the arched front doorway and arched third story windows, and in the treatment of the windowsills as part of a bold-faced masonry band course ending in carved blocks. A handsome wrought iron grille protects the large first floor window, which replaces the former carriage entry, and to the left of it is the grilled entrance door which is practically at street level.
