Commodore Apartment Building

The Commodore Apartment Building is an 11-story residential structure from 1929 featuring brick and terra cotta exterior details in a reinforced concrete design. The building originally contained rental apartments and was later reconfigured as residential units with traditional elevator systems.

The building was constructed in 1929 by architect firm Joseph & Joseph during a period of residential growth in the city following World War I. Decades later, it transitioned from rental apartments to owner-occupied condominiums.

The building's name reflects the influence of a prominent family whose impact shaped the neighborhood and remains visible in the area today. Residents and visitors can recognize this connection through how the surrounding community developed.

The building is easily accessible and situated in an established residential neighborhood with good connections to nearby areas and services. Visitors can explore the exterior architecture and the surrounding neighborhood to see it within its urban context.

The building underwent a major renovation in the 1980s that converted it from rental apartments to owner-occupied condominiums. This transformation was part of a broader shift affecting many older residential structures in the area.
