Description
The Santa Fe Apartments were a five-story apartment building, measuring 45 feet by 122 feet, built of brick, tile, and grey stone, with plentiful architectural details on the front façade.[4] It had a predominantly flat roof, but with a prominent gable at the front. Vertical elements on the façade were created by rectangular columns and tall, narrow windows on the upper floors. The exterior also featured dentil moldings, a broken scroll pediment above the second level, and decorative railings.[4] The sides were quoined and decorative brick and tile work graced the chimneys. [4] The entryway was flanked on each side by a spiral column with classical type carvings just below the capital.[5]
