 interesting place, apartments

Constructed in 1917, the 9 story building was designed by New York architects Starrett and Van Vleck for LaSalle & Koch Department Store. The Renaissance Revival building features a two story colonnade, a copper cornice and limestone lower and upper levels separated by a brick level in between. In 1923 Macy's acquired LaSalle & Koch but continued to operate the store as LaSalles until 1984 when it was closed.

After remaining vacant for 12 years the store was renovated and converted into 160 one and two bedroom apartment units. The units have 11' high ceilings and huge windows. The complex also features a fitness center and a swimming pool.

The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
