5-story Romanesque-revival residential building completed in 1889. Designed by M.V.B. Ferdon, it is faced entirely with brownstone. The smooth stone is contrasted with banded rustications. The stone entrance porch, supported on stubby columns, serves as the terminal point of the fire escape which runs down the center of the building. A prominent roof cornice with closely spaced console brackets crowns the building. Punk rocker Sid Vicious died here of a heroin overdose, February 1, 1979.
