4-story residential building completed sometime around 1900. It is faced in tan stucco. The ground floor was re-clad in red brick in 2019, with a metal roll-down glass-and-metal vehicle door on the east side, and two pedestrian entrances with glass doors to the west. Tan cast-iron columns frame the garage door and western edge of the ground floor, with a tan lintel across the top. Below the lintel and above the doors are three small double-windows.

The upper floors have two bays of rather short windows at the edges of the facade, each with a stone surround and topped by a splayed lintel and keystone. A small horizontal score mark runs across each floor at the middle of the window-level. A plain, tan roof cornice caps the facade.
