Architect William Jose designed this five-story brick tenement for J. Mohrmann in 1880, using the Neo-Grec style with incised lintels and a bracketed cornice. An incised block above the second story marks the corner of Spring and Sullivan Streets. The fire escape was installed during construction, and cast-iron piers still frame the residential entrance.
