3.5-story French Second Empire-style residential building completed in 1863 as a townhouse for Jacob C. Bogert. Clad in red brick, with dormers above the roof, the house retains its original high stoop and curved "eyebrow" cornices over the segmental-arched doorway and windows. The windowsills, with projecting moldings, are supported by brackets. The basement story and handsomely framed doorway are stone. The wrought iron railings are Neo-Federal in design and represent additions of a much later period. Supported on vertical console brackets, the elegant cornice displays rectangular panels with central bull's-eye motifs in the fascia.
