4-story church rectory completed in the late 1800s as a school building for the Holy Innocents Church. It was converted to a rectory in 1925 to designs by Robert J. Reiley. The ground floor is connected to the church building, and clad in light-colored ironspot brick, with neo-Tudor detailing. The main entrance, on the west, has an elaborate cast-stone pointed-arch surround; the door itself is segmental-arched, set beneath a leaded glass quatrefoil in a cast-stone frame. To its east is a tripartite window set in cast-stone under a label lintel; the three leaded glass sections rise to a partial quatrefoil. A smaller and lower secondary entrance at the east of the facade, adjoining the church, is set within a simpler cast-stone pointed-arch, above which is a stone plaque with a cross and the inscribed dates "1868" and "1925".

The upper floors are clad in orange brick, with the western of the three bays slightly set back, and with narrower multi-paned windows. All three upper floors have beige stone sill and lintels courses running across the bottoms and tops of the windows. Above the windows of the 2nd & 3rd floors are pointed-arches of alternating dark and light stone. A stone coping caps the roof line. The east elevation is clad in red-painted brick, with single-windows.
