    According to the 1969 district report, architect Charles B. Meyers designed this six-story brick apartment house for Jacob Lippmann and S. Root in 1911. Brick quoins mark the edges of the front wall, the windows have splayed brick lintels with keystones, and the cornice alternates large brackets with groups of consoles. A central doorway with an ornamental stone frame, flanked by stores, sits below a fire escape with decorative wrought ironwork.
