7-story Neo-Renaissance office building completed in 1902 to a design by Harding & Gooch for Robert J. Horner. The 2-story rusticated stone base is painted dark-brown, with coursed buff-colored brick on the upper floors. The facade has three main bays (with tripartite segmental-arched windows at the 2nd floor, and paired windows above), with a smaller bay of single-windows at the east end. At the ground floor this bay has a service entrance with a roll-down metal gate. The center of the three main bays has a large show-window, and the other two have entrances.

The windows of the upper floors are divided by black metal mullions and have brick corbelling below the sills. There is a segmental-arch above the center window at the 7th floor. The single-windows in the eastern bay have splayed lintels with keystones. The facade is crowned by a broad triangular pediment and modillioned brown metal roof cornice.
