The Howell Apartment building is a two-story concrete structure with a pebble dash stucco finish. The building has a symmetrical arrangement with a low-pitched hipped roof and open eaves. Windows are double/hung ten/one and eight/one. A centered, projecting one-story wooden front porch features square, tapered wooden column supports and a doorway with multi-light sidelights. A second floor door opens onto the deck of the porch. Concrete steps lead up to the apartments. On the rear (east) elevation of the building, a sleeping porch has newer wooden walls on the first floor.

The Howell Apartments were built and managed by Frances (Frankie) Howell who was the sister of Mrs. George (Marietta) Kohlhagen.

This building is Inventory #220 on page 97 of the NRHP Nomination Form and was erected in 1910. Today, this building is still known as Howell Apartments.
