5-story Anglo-Italianate/Queen Anne-style residential building completed in 1862. Built by Samuel Conlon, it is clad in red brick above a ground floor of black-painted, rusticated stone. A very low stoop leads to a round-arched central entrance with a glass door. There is a similarly-sized round-arched window on either side with iron grilles and flower boxes. Above each of the three arches is a small rosette. A black iron cornice tops the ground floor.

The upper floors have four bays of single-windows with prominent black metal bracketed sills and metal cornices, with triangular pediments on the 2nd floor. The building is crowned by an ornate black metal roof cornice with four elaborate console brackets, a scrolled pediment at the center, modilliions, dentils, and carved swag in the panels. The building was renovated in 2012.
