173-foot, 13-story cooperative-apartment building completed in 1914. Designed by Edward L. Larkin as a printing house, it is five bays wide, clad in tan brick above a 2-story base of beige brick with banded piers. The slightly narrower end bays have entrances, and there are glass-and-metal storefronts in the middle (there is a low brick wall at bottom of the center storefront). The 2nd floor has large windows groups in a pattern of a tripartite middle section, bordered on top and bottom by pairs of transom-like panes. A grey stone lintel course with an egg-and-dart molding runs across the tops of the windows. The base is capped by a stone band course with dentiled and an intricate pattern of geometric shapes at the top.
The upper floors has paired windows in each bay, joined by stone sills. The end bays again are slightly narrower, and each window consists of side-by-side panes, with a horizontal pane at the top and bottom. Large and elaborate stone brackets adorn the piers framing the end bays at the 10th floor, which is capped by a dentiled band course. The brackets support 2-story fluted cast-stone pilasters around the end bays, and small, projecting cornices at the base of the 11th floor. There is another pair of small cornices at the top of the 12th floor, and a roof cornice terminating the parapet at the top of the facade. There is a smaller, set-back penthouse level atop the main roof.
The west elevation is faced in white smooth stucco with two bays of single-windows at the front, and a couple bays of paired windows further back. The east elevation is clad in dark-brown brick. It has a bay of paired windows at the front, and three bays of small windows further back. The building was converted to a co-op in the early 1980s. The ground floor is occupied by Culture Object art gallery.
