3-story Greek-revival residential building completed in 1848. It remains virtually unaltered from its original appearance. Built on a very shallow lot, it is narrower and considerably lower in height than Nos. 239-245, due to the fact that it has no raised basement and is entered practically at grade. The red brick facade is severely simple, relieved only by a very handsome dentiled roof cornice with undecorated fascia board.

It is the fine entrance doorway which particularly distinguishes this house. The paneled door is framed by Greek Revival pilasters and narrow sidelights, which are paneled below. Above the door is a long, narrow, rectangular transom, divided into four lights.
