151-foot, 12-story office building completed in 1913. Designed by Neville & Bagge as a manufacturing building, it is clad in buff-colored brick above a 3-story limestone base. There are entrances at both ends of the ground floor - a service entrance at the west end, and the main entrance at the east. Both have twin enframements, with squared, grey granite pillars supporting limestone entablatures with metopes and dentiled cornices. The main entrance has modern glass doors, while the service entrance has metal door with diamond-shaped window cutouts. Above the doors is a transom and vent louvers. Between the entrances are modern aluminum, stainless steel and glass storefronts, topped by transoms and an original iron band course decorated with a row of circles below a Greek-fret pattern.

The 2nd-3rd floors are divided into two end bays with single-windows (replaced by metal louver vents at the west bay on the 2nd floor), and three wide center bays divided by grey-brown iron paneled pilasters. Within these three bays, the two floors are separated by spandrels that match the band course above the ground floor with circles and Greek-fret design. The stone piers around the outer bays have stylized capitals at the top of the 3rd floor. A dentiled stone cornice caps the base.

At the upper floors, the middle bays each have three windows separated by brown iron mullions, and the end bays have single-windows. All the brick spandrels are paneled and have dentiled brick bands at their bases. At the top two floors the piers have projecting sections ornamented at the top and bottom. There is a carved parapet at the top, crowned by a stone cornice. The ground floor is occupied by Gvani New York Inc. handbags, and Dragon Sphere handbags and accessories.
