7-story office building completed in 1870 as a manufacturing lofts building for Leopold Haas. It is clad in brown brick above a 2-story stone base. The ground floor has been renovated with stainless steel cladding, and has an entrance at the left, with a storefront filling the rest of the space. The 2nd floor has a large studio window filling almost the entire floor. Above is a band course decorated with a row of carved medallions on a fluted field.

At the base of the 3rd floor, the brick piers rise from stone bases, ending in Corinthian capitals at the top of the 5th floor. The 4th & 5th floors have four windows each, divided by brown metal mullions, while the 3rd floor has a different window organization, with thinner framing separating narrower side panes from larger middle panes. The spandrels between these floors are lined with stone at the tops and bottoms, with patterned brickwork in the centers. A projecting stone cornice surmounts the 5th floor.

The 6th floor has four separate windows, and is topped by a smaller cornice. The top floor has a stone band at its base, reading "HAAS BUILDING". Above a stone coping, its windows are slightly recessed, in a wide band of five panes. A brick roof parapet crowns the facade, with a zig-zag pattern of darker brick just below the stone coping at the top. The ground floor is occupied by X Nail Bar.
