Constructed in 1906 for Richman Realty & Construction Company, this eleven-story loft building was designed by Samuel Sass. It features a two-story cast-iron base. This was the home of one of Book Row’s longest-running shops, which featured an extensive selection of books by Black authors and on subjects including Black Studies, radicalism, socialism, and the political left.
