This four-story building's architectural presence is that of a frame. Glass windows and spandrels are surrounded by white brick. The darkness of the cast iron mullions and spandrels allows the windows to visually recede. The first two stories on the southern storefront have been altered with aluminum signage and brick. However, the storefront on the northern side seems to be intact as it was originally designed.

George Simons, a real estate entrepreneur, was issued a permit for the construction of this building on Feb. 19, 1926 (permit No. 1738). Its approximate cost was $166,400 (the equivalent of about $3 million in 2024 valuation, when adjusted for inflation). In 1931, a new storefront was constructed for the Nisley Shoe Co.; it was then redone again in 1937. The southern storefront was renovated for the Mayflower Coffee Shop in 1947.

In 1952, the northern storefront was occupied by Cobb's Women's Wear. Furs, Leathers and Knits by Mann was the tenant in 1976. The last tenant was A&M Coney Island.

In early 2026, the building still appears unoccupied.
