3.5-story Greek-revival residential building completed in 1835 as a townhouse for John N. Smith. It is clad in red brick above a brownstone basement. The windows have simple brownstone sills and lintels. The inner doorway, altered with Italianate style doors, still retains its transom, lights and part of the original Greek Revival pilasters, although there is no entablature. The original fluted stone pedestals at the base of the stoop are notable features of this house. The short attic floor is faced in white stucco and has a dentiled cornice. A wrought-iron fire escape with basket-style landings runs down the left side of the facade.
