It has a deep ell-shaped plan, a flat and gable roof, and two large projecting bays with gables on the rear wing. Stone trim, Tudor-style window frames and mullions, gabled dormers with pendants, and a classically detailed main entrance define its appearance. The design mixes Tudor features with the more utilitarian Commercial style, with little added ornament; much of its character comes from brick and stone. It was designed to be practical and to appeal to upper-class tenants. The building is one of the notable apartment buildings erected along Prospect Avenue around the turn of the century, which is the basis for its recognition. An ornate cast iron fence and gate in front of the property add to its significance. It remains in residential use, and its exterior is in good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Attributed to Searles and Hirsh (architects); builder unknown","architectural_style":"Eclectic-Tudor (Tudor-Eclectic, with Commercial style elements)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Exterior condition listed as good; present use is residential.
