7-story Beaux-Arts residential building completed in 1901. Designed by Neville & Bagge, it was formerly called The Algonquin. The facade is clad in very light-grey brick above a 2-story base of banded limestone and brick. The ends of the facade have rounded, projecting bays of two single-windows, with a flat section of two bays in between, both with double-windows. The entrance is in the western bay of the middle section, atop a short stoop of grey tiled steps that spans across the basement areaways on either side, enclosed by iron fencing. The basement level is clad in tan brick and has single-windows at each bay. The stoop is framed by low side walls of white-painted stone with intricate foliate ornament on the end posts. The entrance has a glass door, sidelights, and transom in a stone surround with rounded corners, edged in a patterned molding and topped by a small escutcheon. A matching surrounds frames the double-window to the left, which has a carved panel of foliate ornament below it. Both of these bays at the ground floor are flanked by Ionic columns supporting an entablature with brackets alternating with rosettes, surmounted by a cornice.

There are stone surrounds at the 2nd-floor center-bay windows, with the stone banding continuing across them, topped by splayed lintels with elaborate scrolled keystones and small rosettes on the impost blocks. All of the other windows also have splayed lintels with keystones. The 2nd floor is capped by a projecting stone band course with an egg-and-dart molding. At the upper floors, thin sill courses separate each floor, and there is a black metal fire escape running down the middle of the facade.

At the top floor there are elaborate cartouches placed between the windows in the rounded end bays and also between the two center bays. The facade is crowned by a black metal roof cornice with brackets and dentils that wraps around the curved end bays. The east elevation is clad in reddish-brown brick.

The building contains 20 apartment units.
