The upper floors have single, double and triple casement windows, with corbelled brickwork in many of the spandrels, and air conditioning vents below most of the window groups. Simple black cornices cap both the midrise and highrise roof sections. The complex contains151 apartments as well as the schools. The residential entrance is at the the south end of the North End Avenue elevation, framed in granite and covered by a suspended metal marquee. The rest of the ground floor along North End Avenue is occupied by Gourmet Market.
