65-foot, 6-story commercial building originally completed in 1939. Designed by William Van Alen of Chrysler Building fame, it recently housed an 18,000-square-foot TGI Fridays. Japanese confectioner Minamoto Kitchoan purchased the property in 2021 for its new flagship store. Andrew Pettit Architect was the designer for the renovation.

The new facade is composed of light-hued stone with a symmetrical grid of windows replete with red awnings and decorative black metal railings. The exterior features numerous ornamental flourishes, including thick banding between the floors and a half-moon motif below the trapezoidal cornice. Three flag poles extend from the 3rd floor.
