This distinguished property boasts a rich history, having originally served as a private stable for Frank W. Woolworth, the retail magnate who founded the F.W. Woolworth Company.

Currently, the property is configured with doctors offices on the ground floor and basement, and a residential duplex above, encompassing a total of 7,825 square feet.
