The building has a neo-Grec façade composed of a one-story base and a five-story upper section.[7] Some surviving historic features include a pressed metal cornice, prominent brick-and-stone lintels, a brick corbel table, wood sash windows, and cast-iron piers from the Lindsay, Graff & Megquier foundry,[9] as indicated on two clear foundry marks.[7] The building was renovated by Michael Kirchmann of GDSNY and is the headquarters and flagship location for lifestyle retailer Shinola.[10][2][3]
