Stern designed the structure in a combination of the Mission Revival and the Spanish Revival styles. The building was completed in 1928. It is an example of 1920s exoticism in a prominent apartment corridor in the city.[2] The exterior features diapered brickwork, terra cotta tile roof, limestone portico and trim, and Moorish arch motifs.
