  We present spectroscopic evidence for a low-luminosity, low-excitation active
galactic nucleus (AGN) in NGC 1042, powered by an intermediate-mass black hole.
These findings are significant in that the AGN is coincident with a compact
star cluster known to reside in the nucleus, thus providing an example where
the two types of central mass concentration coexist. The existence of a central
black hole is additionally remarkable in that NGC 1042 lacks a stellar bulge.
Objects such as NGC 1042 may have an important role in testing theories for the
genesis of massive black holes in galaxy nuclei, and the extent to which they
are in symbiosis with the larger stellar host.
