This is just a few blocks from where I used to live in the evil days of the 1970s. It may be on the site of a burned-out 6-story abandoned building or perhaps some adjoining frame houses c. 1900. I would be curious as to what the rent may be. An attended lobby does not come cheap. Does the building have electric heat? That would increase costs.
Looks good.
