APARTMENT BUILDING
1963
NR nomination: While located within the NR boundary, no entry for this address was included in the original nomination.

In the 1998 survey, this was deemed a Noncontributing Building.

2015 Survey Update: Largely obscured by trees and vegetation, this two-story, side-gabled apartment building is eight bays wide and double-pile with a brick veneer, eight-over-twelve wood-sash windows on the first floor and eight-over-eight windows at the second-floor level. Windows in the center of the first-floor façade are paired with paneled aprons. Paired entrances near each end of the façade are six-panel doors sheltered by front-gabled porches supported by decorative metal posts with plain weatherboards in the gables. There is a low gable centered on the façade and an exterior brick chimney in the left (south) gable. Entrances on the rear (west) elevation are accessed by uncovered brick stoops with metal railings.
