3-story residential building completed in 1828 as a 2-story house, with the shop in the rear lot completed the previous year. The front house was later raised to three floors and was refaced shortly after 1900 in smooth stucco, painted white. It presents an undecorated, simple facade to the street, without front doorway, relying for accents on its ironwork. The lengthened central window of the second story is graced by a small balcony with decorative cast iron panels which is supported by horizontal iron brackets of unusual design. A high two-tiered iron railing, above the cornice, runs the width of the building.

At the east end of the building is a deep, one-story arch, crowned by an iron railing. This archway leads to the entrance and, via an open passage, to the taller building at the rear of the lot.
