138-foot, 13-story Neo-Tudor residential building completed in 1914. Designed by Rouse & Goldstone, it is clad in reddish-brown ironspot brick with beige terra-cotta ornament and a light-grey granite water table/basement that rises considerably at the west due to the slope of the site. The central entrance is set in a 2-story terra-cotta surround with angled, beveled pilasters at the ends, framed by widely-spaced keys. up a couple of stone steps, the recessed, pointed-arch entry has a glass-and-metal door below a rounded, green canvas canopy extending out over the sidewalk. Above the arch is a panel with shields flanking a ribbon. Above the ground floor, this center bay has single-windows. There are two bays of tripartite windows on either side; most have thin, black metal mullions, but the two ground-floor bays on the east (the ground floor has shorter windows) have thicker mullions, and all have brick lintels. At the water table, there are three low basement openings at the sidewalk level to the left of the entry. To the right are three more, taller and square-shaped, with iron grilles, and the the west end are two yet taller openings and a gated basement entrance via a set of steep steps.

At the 2nd-3rd floors, as well as the 5th-10th, and the 12th, the windows are fronted by shallow, black iron balconettes. At the 3rd floor the end bays have terra-cotta panels below them, carved with three rectangles of foliate ornament. A terra-cotta band course with a pattern of square panels inset with elongated hexagons alternating with narrow panels with diamond shapes runs below the 4th floor; at the three middle bays it projects out to form a shallow balcony carried on a row of brackets. Above this band course the end bays are framed by brick quoins. Another terra-cotta balcony fronts the middle bays at the 11th floor, this one with balusters and carried on four brackets in the form of gargoyles. The end bays at the top two floors have terra-cotta surrounds, keyed at the edges, with trios of brick crosses in the spandrels between the two floors. These bays are crowned by brick and terra-cotta parapets with sloped ends and flat tops, both pierced by a narrow vertical opening at the main roof line (both of these were originally full gables, but the tops were cut off when a penthouse floor was added on the roof. In between there is a terra-cotta band course and a crenelated brick parapet with terra-cotta coping and small vertical slits at each raised crenelation. Above the lower roof line, a set back penthouse level is faced in red-painted stucco.

The west elevation is clad in brown brick, and both sides have wide and shallow light wells clad in beige brick. The light wells are lined with double-windows on the east- and west-facing walls, and single-windows on the shorter side walls. The front end of the west elevation has a single-window bay. The building contains 70 apartment units.
