The main structure is brick; the entrance is embellished with light orange terra cotta, inset medallions, and Corinthian columns. The hipped roof is tiled, and edged with a red and white checkerboard pattern and gargoyles.
With the onset of the Great Depression, this was the last of the large residential apartments built along Jefferson until well after World War II.
