6-story cooperative-apartment building completed in 1927. Designed by Lowenberg & Leuchtag, it is clad in variegated dark red brick, 11 bays wide. The centrally-located entry is framed in cast-iron, with round-arched windows with stone sills on either side. A stone band course connects the sills of the 2nd-story windows. The upper floors all have square-headed windows with splayed brick lintels and keystones, except for the center and end bays on the 2nd and top floors. On the 2nd floor they have stone enframements with a round-arch headed by brick with a keystone, and also have small balconies with wrought-iron railings. On the top floor, also with balconies, the windows have stone enframements with scrolled brackets supporting triangular pediments. The roof parapet with stone coping is stepped up over each of these windows, and has two triangular brick pediments between them, with a stone cartouche and swag in the field of the pediment. A pair of iron fire escapes also run down the facade. The exposed eastern sidewall is clad in plain beige brick.
