Architect Robert Mook designed this five-story Italianate building in 1871 for Ignatz Hoff, who had owned the lot since 1867, as row houses nearby were being replaced by tenements. The 1880 census shows mostly American-born families, including a gilder, a policeman, a salesman, a butcher and several people in the clothing trades. George Herbst bought it in 1897, and a Herbst owned it until 1939.
