Built between 1919 and 1920, using a commercial style that was characteristic of the designs of LeRoy Rothschild, this historic structure is a six-story, reinforced concrete building that was faced in brick and limestone. It housed the Biberman Brothers, Co., a women's dress manufacturer, into the 1970s and features a Classical Revival-style entrance. The primary elevation, which faces North 15th Street, is eight bays wide. A seventh floor was removed in 1975.[1]
