4-story Neo-Federal office building originally completed as a 2-story stable in 1865 for Edward Fox. It was altered to a garage on the 1st floor and two apartments on the 2nd floor in 1939. Arhitect Leon K. Levy converted it a one-family private dwelling and studio and private garage in 1946. Following Levy's death in 1984, two more stories were added, giving it the appearance of a 4-story neo-Federal house. Since 2004 the building has housed the administrative and finance offices of the Post Graduate Center for Mental Health.

The facade is clad in red brick, darker on the top two floors. A white garage door is on the right, with the entrance in the middle. It has a wood-framed wrought-iron-and-glass door and sidelight below a navy-blue clamshell canopy. To the left is an arched window with a matching wrought-iron grille and brick voussoir.

The upper floors have three bays of single-windows with flat stone lintels. A simple stone cornice marks the roof line. The building narrows toward the rear of the lot.
