7-story residential building completed in 1896 as a store-and-loft building. The facade is clad in beige brick and pale-green and beige terra-cotta. The 2-story base has banded piers resting on granite plinths, with stone capitals that each have a row of four small roundels. The three piers organize the base into two bays, both with plate-glass windows next to glass doors at the ground floor. There is a storefront in the west bay, and the main building entrance in the east bay. The base is capped by a pale-green cornice.

The upper floors have triple-windows in both bays, with black iron mullions. In between floors each bay has a pale-green spandrel panel decorated with white garlands. The piers have stylized capitals at the top of the 5th floor, where another pale-green cornice sets off the top two floors. The facade is crowned by a pale-green metal roof cornice with three oversized scrolled brackets, smaller intermediate brackets, tiny dentils, and panels.

The side elevations are plain beige brick with no openings. The ground floor is occupied by G&G Glass. The building was converted to residential use in 2003, with only four condominium units.
