Built in 1899-1900 for Eliza Fishbaum by the firm Higgs & Gavigan, this three-story brick building is noted in the 1969 district report for the arched windows at its top floor. Panels in the brickwork between the second and third floor windows give the look of vertical pilasters, and a stepped brick parapet with stone coping finishes the front. A doorway beside the modern shop front leads to the upper floors.
