From the city website:
"The Rhodesbilt Arcade, one of the city's most distinctive buildings, stretches between Park Avenue and Stuart Avenue, offering entry from either street. Erected between 1924 and 1926, it was built by Jesse T. Rhodes, a contractor and real estate agent, nicknamed "Good" because of the craftsmanship he applied to the buildings he constructed. They included a number of early residences in the city."
