157-foot, 16-story mid-century modern residential building completed in 1960. Designed by Hyman Isaac Feldman, it is clad in red brick above a white granite ground floor. The main entrance is near the east end of the south facade on 33rd Street, with glass double-doors up a couple of steps in a recessed bay, covered by a rounded, grey canvas canopy extending out over the sidewalk. A short stainless-steel awning tops the recessed bay and also continues a bit to the west, where there are two low, metal vents at the sidewalk level. Farther west are two square, plate-glass windows, and two narrower plate-glass windows. At the east end are a triple-window and double-window, below which the basement level is partially exposed, with similar but lower windows.

The upper floors have, from west to east, a double-window bay, two single-window bays, another double-window, a triple-window, two double-windows, a 5-window bay, a triple-window, and a double-window end bay. This end bays has a setback with a metal railing above the 9th floor, and another much deeper setback with a railing above the 10th. The pier to the left of the setbacks is angled, continuing up to a small corner setback above the 12th floor, and two shallow setbacks spanning several bays above the 13th & 14th floors, with a deeper one above the 15th. The southwest corner is chamfered at the 14th-15th floors, with a setback to the 16th.

The west facade on the avenue has five bays of plate-glass windows of varying widths at the ground floor, with a set of glass double-doors set in the middle, and a steel service door at the north end. The upper floors have, from south to north, a double-window bay, a triple-window bay, another double-window, two more triple-windows, and a double-window end bay. Like the south facade, there are metal air-conditioning vents below some bays. The north end bays sets back above the 12th floor, with terraced setbacks at the next bay. The 3rd bay from the north has chamfered corners at the 14th-15th floors, with shallow setbacks on either side, and the next triple-window bay also has chamfered northern corners. These end at the 15th floor with metal railings and a setback to the top floor.

The east elevation has a double-window at the front, and two single-windows behind it, followed by a wide bay of balconies wrapping around a corner to the recessed north end of the facade.

The building contains 120 apartment units. The ground floor is occupied by NYU Langone Health Center for Women's Imaging.
