    In 1891 architect George F. Pelham designed this five-story brick and terra-cotta tenement for owner Jacob L. Buttenweiser, with stores on the ground floor behind cast-iron piers. Round-arched windows on the second and fourth floors have radiating brick lintels topped with figural keystones, and many still hold their one-over-one wood sash. A cornice with a sunburst pediment was taken off around the 1960s.
