The Buildong was originally known as 55 Kilby St. It was constructed by Sturgis & Brigham in 1880. The Building's style is mixed. The first three floors have an italiante flavor, including a sort of ruskinian arch above the door. The floors above the third floor are topped with Romanesque arched windows. The building has been nicely renovated, and adapted for retail use, the first floor shops and upstairs office.
