5-story residential building completed in 1891. It is clad in variegated brick with an entrance near the center. The glass door, sidelights, and transom are flanked by brick pilasters and covered by a short, black canopy. On the ground floor there is a narrow double-window and a wide double-window to the west, and a narrow double-window flanked by wide double-windows to the east, all with stone sills and iron grilles. A grey metal service door is tucked into the far east end.

The upper floors have a bay of paired windows at the west end, followed by two bays of single-windows, another bay of paired windows, and three single-windows at the east. All the windows have simple stone sills, and brick lintel courses run across the tops of the windows at each floor. There is a brown metal fire escape running down both of the paired-window bays, and a metal coping at the roof line. The building contains 30 apartment units.
