6-story mid-century modern residential building completed in 1940. It is clad in brown brick. The residential entrance is at the south end, with a glass door atop two brick steps. To the right is a wood-and-glass storefront with French doors and windows fronted by a sideways ramp.

The upper floors have sliding glass doors in bays at both ends, with large metal air-conditioning vents in the middle. A full-width metal railing spans the 2nd floor, while the floors above have projecting concrete balconies with metal railings at each bay. At the top, the facade has two projecting faux-balconies with brick walls extending to the roof line's stone coping.

The exposed part of the south elevation is faced in beige rough-stucco with no openings. The ground floor is occupied by Sahara's Turkish Cuisine.
