On a small urban site, this six-story building houses 91 apartments of varying types for elderly tenants who desired to remain in their old neighborhood. Conventional architectural elements, particularly scale, were employed to accommodate budget constraints. The brick, an inexpensive red clay, matches an adjacent warehouse, but the brick nearest the sidewalk is of a different size from that used where the facade meets the street. The scale of the windows also differs according to their distance from the street.
Interior spaces are complex to suit the varied program of the apartment house.
There is a maximum of interior volume and a minimum of corridor space.
