Lippert may have also designed the building.[2] Its Prairie School design creates a harmonious unity for this urban housing structure.[3] The exterior of the two-story building features brick on the lower two-thirds and stucco on the upper third. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
