Silverman & Bloch built this six-story tenement in 1905, after the Tenement House Act of 1901 raised standards for light and air. Architects Horenburger & Straub used red brick with contrasting quoins, terra-cotta sills and lintels, and a pressed-metal cornice with garlands and rosettes. Stores occupy the ground floor, and the historic fire escape and cast-iron entrance piers survive.
