6-story Beaux-Arts residential building completed in 1903. Designed by Bernstein & Bernstein, it has bold, rusticated off-white brickwork above the prominent stone band course of the ground floor. The facade has paired windows alternating with single windows. These single windows have splayed lintels and bold console type keystones. An attractive vertical effect is achieved by the tiers of paired windows, crowned at the 3rd and 5th floors by arched or triangular pediments, which are richly carved as are the spandrel panels between the windows at alternating levels. The building is crowned by a cornice decorated with swags and wreaths, and supported by horizontal console brackets.
