 apartment building, 1922_construction

8-story residential building completed in 1922. Designed by Schwartz & Gross as a printing house, it was originally called the Kymson Building. It is six bays wide and clad in red brick above a ground floor that features a line of storefronts with glass and light-blue metal panels, with the entrance at the west end, framed in black stone, with metal-and-glass double doors and a metal canopy. At the top of the ground floor is a limestone entablature with cornice and decorative circles.

At the upper floors the middle bays have large 3-over-3 windows, while the end bays have narrower 2-over-3 windows. Another stone cornice runs above the 2nd floor; a final cornice caps the 7th floor, with a setback at the two outer bays on each side. The two middle bays rise another story above the cornice, with four large, square-headed windows, and culminate in a triangular pediment with cast-stone coping. A stone circle ornaments the two piers supporting the pediment, with a larger circle in the middle. At the east end there is a small mechanical penthouse rising above the roof line. The ground floor is occupied by Orange Theory fitness, and Pingpod table tennis facility.
