The building was constructed in 1926 by the architectural firm Kirkpatrick & Cannon and was the first high-rise residential development in the city designed specifically for affluent residents. It marks an important moment in Niagara Falls development as an urban center for quality housing.

The building displays a blend of Gothic and Colonial styles that were fashionable in the early 1900s. These architectural details still shape the neighborhood's character today and show how wealthy residents wanted to live back then.

The location is easily accessible in downtown with good access to shops, restaurants, and public transportation. Visitors can view the exterior architecture from Rainbow Boulevard and explore the neighborhood character surrounding the building.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005, recognizing its significance for architectural history. This designation shows it should be preserved as one of few examples of its kind.
