6-story cooperative-apartment building completed in 1910. Designed by Schwartz & Gross, it is dark-red brick with white stone trim. Iron fencing in front encloses two basement areaways, with the main entrance in the center. It has glass double-doors below a transom, set in a stone surround flanked by oversized brackets wrapped by wreaths, supporting a projection of the stone cornice above the ground floor. To either side of the entrance is a narrow double-window with a quoined stone surround.

The upper floors have narrow double-window end bays, and two single-windows paired together in the middle. These all have molded stone surrounds at the 2nd floor, the tops of which overlay a stone band cornice with a pair of roundels at both ends. The 3rd-5th floors have stone quoins at the edges, and the windows have bracketed sills at the outer bays, with splayed stone lintels and elaborate scrolled keystones at these bays, and splayed stone lintels with simple keystones at the middle bays. The 6th floor has surrounds matching those at the 2nd floor, and the outer piers have outlined brick panels. A black iron fire escape runs down the middle of the facade, which is topped by a blank stone band surmounted by a brick parapet with stone coping, stepped up at the ends and in the middle.

It was converted to a co-op in 1984, with 23 apartments.
