"This three-story brick Victorian apartment building is a relatively rare example of 19th-century multifamily housing in Kansas. Each of the multiple entry points on the main facade is marked by an exterior stair leading to a covered porch. A similarly pleasing and well-scaled composition is employed on the second street facade, and an angled turret cleverly resolves their intersection at the corner." Quoted from Robert Slemmons, Topeka architect on the The Topeka Capital-Journal web site posted Tuesday, November 30, 1999.
