Around 1890 the firm Kurtzer & Rohl designed this six-story apartment building for owner August Ruff. Its brick front has terra-cotta relief panels, curved window architraves and sunburst motifs on the third and fifth floors. Before about 1940 the stoop was removed, the ground floors were rebuilt with storefronts, and the cornice was taken off.
