It retains its historic integrity. The 1903 construction and the 1913 addition mark its periods of significance.","narrative":"Apartment living in early twentieth-century Rock Island is represented by this masonry building at the corner of Nineteenth Street and Fourth Avenue. Dr. E.M. Sala had it built in 1903 to designs by local architect Leonard Drack, and in 1913 he added a matching north section designed by C.D. McLane. The building rises four and five stories above a limestone English-style basement, with beige pressed brick upper walls, curved window bays on scrolled consoles, three pedimented entries with Ionic pilasters, and a full classical cornice. A wood rear porch and stair serve the interior sections, which hold thirty-one units as of 2003. A c. 1855 brick gable-front house to the west, bought by Sala in 1913, served as a garage and counts as a second contributing building. The property was recognized for architecture as a locally significant, simplified example of the Second Renaissance Revival style, with its integrity largely maintained.","period_of_significance":"1903, 1913","architect_builder":"Leonard Drack (original 1903 design, for Dr. E.M.
