10-story Neo-Romanesque residential building completed in 1927. Designed by Gronenberg & Leuchtag, the 5-bay facade is clad in grey-tan brick above a 2-story tan brick base, with terra-cotta trim. The stone water table is painted beige, and is the stone entry surround at the center. It is round-arched, with two layers of patterned moldings, surrounding wood, glass, and bronze double-doors and a fanlight below a rounded, blue canvas canopy extending out over the sidewalk.

The ground floor has a double-window and a single-window to the left, and to the right is a double-window, a single-window, and a gated service entrance down a step at the west end, below a smaller window. The other windows have white-painted stone sills and brick lintels. The upper floors have tripartite windows in the center bay and double-windows in the other four bays; above the 3rd floor they have dentiled sills.

At the 2nd floor the center and end bays have projecting terra-cotta surrounds on small brackets, with spiral colonnetttes between the windows, with small Corinthian capitals topped by dentiled arches; the ends of the surrounds have engaged colonnettes, and they, along with the rest of the 2nd floor, are topped by a dentiled string course. The other bays have black iron mullions.

There are also terra-cotta surrounds at the 9th floor, with three individual arches over the center bay, and larger arches covering the end bays. These surrounds also have colonnettes framing the windows. There is a recessed 10th floor faced in dark-grey stucco, with single-windows. Both the east and west elevations have central light wells that are lined with single- and double-windows; there are no other openings in the side facades.

The building contains 46 condominium units.
