Built in 1926 in Washington Court, this flat-roofed house is one of the six middle houses of an eleven-house row on 45th Street, set back from the street line. Its row mixes two-story flat-roofed houses with gabled ones, and its details include cast-stone coping on the flat roofs and elliptical wood panels over the paired doorways.

By 2007 the entry porch of this house had been refaced with vertical wood siding, its openings changed to a single one-over-one window on the front and on the side, and the porch roof tarred. The windows were one-over-one vinyl and the facade had been repointed, but the basement still had its historic door.
