Undertaken by architect George Pelham, a prolific local apartment house designer in 1923-24, for developer Dr. Charles Paterno, who was one of the most active apartment house developers in the city. The complex is a significant example of Tudor Revival style apartment design, displaying many key elements of the style, including asymmetrical massing, vitrified brickwork with randomly placed clinker bricks, stucco and halftimber detail, irregular rooflines, and steel casement windows. The complex occupies only a portion of its lot area, with a substantial area given over to landscaped lawns and gardens and to paths and a private drive. The original landscaping was under the direction of Robert B. Cridland, an important landscape designer of the early twentieth century.
