Lawrence J. O'Connor designed this four-story building about 24 feet wide in 1871-72 for Hynes Bros. & Co. Its cast-iron front mixes Second Empire and neo-Grec details, and the year 1871 is cast into the frieze under the arched center pediment of the cornice. The building replaced a frame dwelling that had a shop at street level.
“The date "1871" is cast in the frieze under the arch.”
