Early tenants of 319 Broadway included the Security State Bank and the Metropolitan Life Insurance Corporation.

Faced in cast iron, the building contains many original two-over-two wood sash windows.

[2] The Broadway elevation originally contained a stoop at the north and two openings with flattened arches and a corner pier.

The north opening of the second floor contains a slightly projecting portico with flanking engaged columns supporting a triangular pediment and brackets with incised neo-Grec ornament, which is likely a later replacement.

Stories three through five contain three window openings each, gradually decreasing in size, flanked by Corinthian columns and terminated by piers at each end supporting a cornice.

At the base of the service entrance, a metal plaque reads "Architectural Iron Works / 14th Street between / A B & C NY."
