Frederick C. Zobel put up this corner building in 1896 and 1897 on the angle where Christopher and Gay Streets meet, acting as both owner and architect. It rises five tall stories, with a deep classical cornice carried on console brackets and a large arched window across the fourth floor. Built as a loft, it has since been converted to apartments, and its Gay Street side is No. 20 Gay Street.
