6-story early-modernist cooperative-apartment building completed in 1948. Designed by Horace Ginsbern, it is clad in red brick. Four light, one at the middle of each side, courts divide the building into multiple wings. The front light court on 95th Street surrounds a sunken garden, and the main entrance is at the west corner of the east wing. It has a deeply-recessed set of metal-and-glass double-doors in a surround of scored grey stone, with a slender pillar at the corner supporting the upper floors. There is a row of carved circles across the top of the surround. Above the entrance, the upper floors have a bay of single-windows. To the right, the rest of the east wing has two bays of double-windows and a bay of single-windows, except at the ground floor where there is a double-window, single-window, and double-window.

The south facade of the west wing has, from left to right, two bays of single-window, two double-windows, and another single-window. At the ground floor there is a red metal service door at the west end, followed by a single-window and three double-windows, all with iron grilles. Red metal fire escapes with rounded corners on the landings run down the middle of both wings, which are both capped by three thin horizontal bands of brick and a stone coping.

The inner walls of the light wells have a few bays of single-windows, as do the other light wells. The building contains 54 apartments.
