It reflects the post-World War I shift toward multi-family housing with high-style detailing. It was designed to blend with the domestic character of the adjacent Ansley Park neighborhood.","narrative":"Built in 1924 on 16th Street in Atlanta's Midtown, this three-story brick apartment building with a basement was designed to look like a very large house. Its Colonial Revival details include a symmetrical three-bay front, quoins, decorative urns, a round-transom entrance with an iron fan, and six-over-six windows. Stacked porches on the front and rear serve most of the seventeen one-bedroom and studio apartments. Inside, the entry has marble wainscoting and stairs, and original kitchen and bath features survive in some units, including cast-iron fixtures and hexagonal floor tile. The building stands at the edge of Ansley Park, where apartment buildings were built around the periphery to suit younger couples and single people. It appears to be the work of the Atlanta builder H.W. Nicholes and Son, and was likely designed by Martin Witter Nicholes. It is valued as an intact example of the 'big house' apartment type, which was less common in Atlanta than garden apartments.","period_of_significance":"1924","architect_builder":"H.W.
