Built in 1890 for Joseph D. Eldridge, this six-story brick building stands at Greenwich Street and West 12th Street, where James M. Farnsworth fitted his design onto a very shallow corner lot. A store faces both streets. The only real ornament is the deep bracketed cornice with swagged panels between the brackets.
