Brick building

What do you suppose this brick building is? A restaurant, a residence, a museum? There's no sign on it though there is a space where a sign may appear later. It's sandwiched between two residential high rises. I took the photo from the bus and in twisting around to get it before the building was out of sight, it was way off level! If I cropped it, you wouldn't get the full flavor of its location, so I merely leveled it.
