[2] The large multi–story mixed residential/commercial use building sits on a foundation of rock faced limestone in an ashlar pattern capped with a smooth plinth course.

The main wall treatment is deep red brick with sandstone belt courses that become ornamented lintels.

A decorative frontispiece with a glazed brick arch and name plate is on the south facade.

It was built for Valentine Eckert, who operated a notions business with his brother Joseph, as an investment property.
