Woerner in Italian Renaissance Revival style.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it was Dallas's first major apartment hotel and set the pattern for later upscale apartment buildings, supporting Criterion A in Community Planning and Development. It is also an excellent local example of a three-part vertical block with Italian Renaissance Revival detailing (Criterion C).","narrative":"Completed in 1923 on Maple Avenue northwest of downtown Dallas, this eleven-story L-shaped hotel combines a poured concrete frame with brick and glazed terra cotta cladding. Architect Frank J. Woerner designed it with Italian Renaissance Revival detailing, including cream terra cotta blocks imitating limestone at the base and a low tile roof. It was built for developer J.E. Kenefick as a hybrid of apartment and hotel, with 135 suites offering private kitchens, maid and linen service, and a commissary. The nomination describes it as the first major apartment hotel in Dallas and credits it with influencing later projects such as Maple Terrace and Cliff Towers, as well as new businesses nearby. Later changes include 1930s Art Deco lobby alterations and a luxury penthouse added for owner Harry Stewart. The building remains in use as a hotel and is considered locally significant for its role in city development and for its architecture.","period_of_significance":"1923-1957","architect_builder":"F.J.
