This five-story apartment house was built in 1890-1892 for William J. O'Gorman to designs by J. A. Webster, in a late Romanesque Revival style. Its rusticated base has an entrance porch with arches on squat columns topped by Romanesque capitals, and arched windows flank the porch and run across the top floor. Two sheet-metal bays rise from the second to the fourth floor, under a bold cornice with a Romanesque frieze.
