Abraham Silverson built this six-story old-law tenement in 1897 and hired Schneider & Herter, who also designed the neighboring buildings at 58 and 60 East 3rd Street. The Queen Anne front is trimmed in dark red terra cotta, including panels of cherubs between the floors, and a round-headed window sits at the fourth story. The cornice was already missing by the 1980s.
