5-story Renaissance-revival residential building completed in 1887. It was designed by Frederick Ebeling as a tenement for the estate of Mrs. B. Shottick. It is clad in brick, with the upper floors coated in a thin layer of stucco. The facade is painted beige, and has a narrow street-level entrance framed by two square windows with brick sills. Above a cornice, the upper floors have five slightly projecting piers between the four windows; the middle pier ends at the top of the 5th floor window, the two outside of that one extend halfway up the roof parapet, and the two outer piers extend the full height of the building. Bands of slatted or corbelled stone alternate across each floor, two-third of the way up each window.
The 2nd-floor windows have plain stone sills, while those above have projecting sills with corbelled feet. At the 2nd floor, the windows are topped with eared stone cornices, in turn topped by small peaked pediments at the outer bays. The 3rd floor windows have similar cornices, but with rounded pediments on top. At the 4th floor, the same cornices carry smaller rounded pediments, and on the top floor, the windows have eared stone lintels with keystones. An iron fire escape runs down the center of the facade.
