Carpenter Co. in the Mission Revival style.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building is a representative example of the apartment house construction that flourished in Springfield in the early 20th century (Criterion A). It also presents the building as a fine and unusual example of Mission Revival style, described as the only known local example applied to a larger multi-family dwelling (Criterion C).","narrative":"Kenwyn Apartments is a four-story apartment block at the corner of Belmont Avenue and Kenwood Park in Springfield, Massachusetts. Built in 1916 by the William H. Carpenter Co. on the site of a Victorian house, it wraps stucco walls around a small rear courtyard and is entered through three arched doorways. Mission-style features include barrel-tiled overhangs, Spanish-style parapets and a rounded corner bay. Inside, oak-paneled foyers and stairwells serve 28 units, and some corner apartments have small paneled libraries. It was listed because it represents the wave of apartment construction that reshaped Springfield in the early twentieth century, and because it is an unusual local example of Mission Revival design applied to multi-family housing. The exterior and interior remain largely intact despite years of vacancy, vandalism and water damage. A tax-advantaged rehabilitation into affordable housing has been proposed, aiming to preserve the building's character while working with neighbors on its future management.","period_of_significance":"1916-1944","architect_builder":"William H.
