120-foot, 12-story Neo-Federal cooperative-apartment building completed in 1924. Designed by Jardine, Hill & Murdock, it is clad in red brick above a white-painted stone ground floor. There is a central entrance with black wood-and-glass double-doors below a rounded, black canvas canopy extending out over the sidewalk. The doors are framed by paneled pilasters carrying a dentiled cornice. To either side are two 3-over-4 windows, the northern pair spaced closer together to allow space for a white metal service door at the north end. All five of these bays have stylized keystones on top.

The upper floors have five bays of 3-over-4 windows. At the 2nd floor they have decorative metal railings below them, stone lintels on top with fluted ends and taller central panels with garlands, and in between the bays the piers are ornamented with stone medallions. The floors above alternate individual stone sills and continuous sill courses. A band course runs below the 10th floor, and the 10th-11th have narrow, slightly-projecting brick pilasters between the bays, ending in round-arches at the 11th floor. The 10th-floor windows have stone lintels like those on the 2nd floor. The facade is crowned by a modillioned stone roof cornice, with a rooftop terrace above, and a set-back penthouse floor behind it.

The north and south elevations are red brick at the front, with no openings. The rear sections of these facades are set back and clad in beige brick, with two single-windows toward the east, followed by a double-window bay, and two wide single-windows flanking a narrower single-window.

The building was converted to a co-op in 1980, with 35 apartments.
