3-story residential building completed in 1923. Designed by J. H. Knubel, it is clad in dark-red brick. The centered entrance has a multi-paned black wood-and-glass door below a rounded, short, grey canvas canopy. To either side are two single-windows with stone sills and low iron railings and brick lintels. There are low basement windows with glass blocks below the windows, except at the east end, where there is a basement door set down a few steps behind a metal gate.

The upper floors have four bays of single-windows with stone sills and brick lintels. The middle two bays have low iron railings. The facade is topped by a brick parapet, stepped up at the ends and peaked in the middle, with a brick band course below it.
