6-story Renaissance-revival cooperative-apartment building completed around the mid-1890s. It is clad in a pattern of red and grey brick above a banded limestone ground floor and red-brick basement level. The entrance has a 2-step stoop that spans the basement areaway, enclosed by iron fencing on either side. The segmental-arched doorway has a glass-and-metal door with sidelights and a transom, set in a beveled surround with a rope molding. There is a scrolled keystone on top, flanked by two console brackets, each wrapped by a wreath, supporting a cornice. On either side a stone band course caps the ground floor, which has a single-window and double-window on either side of the entry.
The upper floors have four single-windows in the middle and double-window end bays with black iron mullions. The 2nd floor has two bands of stone carved with rosettes, and a band course across the top that has scrolled keystones above each window. Thin stone sill courses line the 3rd & 6th floors, and the 6th floor has another two bands with the same rosette pattern and a band course on top. The other floors have stone sills and splayed stone lintels with scrolled keystones at the windows. A black metal fire escape runs down the middle two bays, with decorative railings, and the facade is crowned by a black metal roof cornice with brackets and dentils.
The east facade is a blank, parged grey wall. There is a light well in the middle lined with single-windows. The building was converted to a co-op in 1962, with 24 apartments.
