4-story (including raised basement) Italianate residential building originally completed in 1855 as one in a row of three similar houses from 126 to 130 East 3Yh Street by the builder/developer Thomas Kilpatrick. This building was converted from a private house to a multiple dwelling in 1934, at which time its stoop was removed, its entrance relocated, and its facade replaced. The architect for the alteration was Harry M. Clawson. The building remains largely intact to the 1934 alteration.

The facade is faced in brown smooth-stucco, with a black iron fence in front. A gate and a few steps down lead to the entrance on the right, with a paneled wood-and-glass door framed by paneled pilasters and below a triangular pediment. The ground floor is lightly rusticated, and to the left are two short windows with iron grilles and surround with delicate roundel decorations at the corners.

The upper floors have three bays of single-windows, growing shorter on each floor, with full stone surrounds including bracketed sills and more small roundels at the upper corners. A trio of thin octagon outlines ornament the facade above the windows on the top floor. The facade is capped by a simple stone cornice. The ground floor is occupied by Cuttita Legal Services.
