At the time of posting, the Tiffany House (Tiffany Tower Apartments) is undergoing renovation. The building has been bought and sold several times in the last few years, but it appears plans are still underway to refurbish it. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in June 2016.
This is a 12-story apartment building, faced with poured concrete. The front and back elevations (east and west) have 7 bays, alternating between wide balconies and narrow window bays. The balconies spread across two apartment units. The end elevations each have 3 bays with the center bay having a projected stairway, flanked by windowed bays.
Each floor has 12 apartments, 6 on each side of a north-south corridor. A swimming pool is located on the north end. The entrance facing east is located in a projecting covered entrance portico. Atop the building against the elevator shaft which rises above the roof line is a metal frame on which is mounted 8 ft. high letters reading "TIFFANY".
