6-story Neo-Georgian manufacturing building completed in 1910. Designed by Lafayette A. Goldstone, it has a simple facade of reddish-brown brick, with brick window headers and stone sills. The ground floor is grey brick with a loading bay and pedestrian entrance, both covered with metal rolldown gates, and a suspended metal canopy (installed 1936).

This building was apparently mostly used for light manufacturing initially. It had a cafeteria on the ground story in the 1920-30s. In the late 1930s, meatpacking firms began to use the building. After 1977, when it was acquired by the Imperial Veal & Lamb Co., this building became associated as a meat market with 420-424 West 14th Street to the east. The ground floor is occupied by a branch of the USPS.
