Schneider & Herter designed the building, which went up in 1889 to 1890 for Philip Goerlitz, who also acted as its builder. Its brick, terra cotta and cast-iron facade has multi-story piers carved with masks and sixteen bays. Despite changes at street level, the Landmarks Preservation Commission calls it remarkably intact, with its original first-story cast-iron columns.
