Onetime IBM Systems Products Division/formerly Empire State Warehouse/originally Long Island Storage Warehouse and Jenkins Trust Company.

Grand, paired Beaux Arts entry portals join the corner at this intersection. A rusticated base supports the patterned brick­work of this sturdy office-building monolith. Lost is a neo­Baroque tower that once crowned these low brownstone blocks.
