    A new-building filing of 1891 records James W. Cole as architect and Ellen E. Ward as owner of this five-story tenement with a commercial ground floor. It is built of brick and brownstone in the Renaissance Revival style, with cast-iron storefront piers, wood-framed display windows, brownstone beltcourses and a bracketed cornice. Much of the historic storefront survives.
