162-foot, 12-story office building completed in 1927. Designed with art-deco elements by architect Frank S. Parker, it is clad in buff-colored brick (painted grey-brown on the ground floor). Along Varick Street, it is 11 bays wide, with the four outer bays extending up one floor higher than the center bays. The large windows have nine panes each, and are rectangular in the center bays, and square-shaped in the outer bays. Each of the brick piers also rises slightly above the roof line.

The building is L-shaped in plan, with a narrower southern facade on King Street. The longest facade is along Houston Street, where it is 13 bays wide, stepping down in height from 12 stories to 7 as it moves eastward. There are a number of large metal garage doors on the ground floor along Houston Street. Ground floor retail tenants include B.J. Magazines, Michael Tyler Stationers, Chipotle, Deb's, SOB's Dinner Club, the Film Forum, and a Citibank branch.
