The Chelsea Arms

USA / New Jersey / Hoboken / West 18th Street, 319
 cooperative, apartment building

6-story Neo-Gothic cooperative-apartment building completed in 1928. Designed by Slee & Bryson, it is clad in reddish-brown brick. There is a stone band course midway across the ground floor, connecting the window sills of the ground floor. Another band course separates the 2nd & 3rd floors. The windows are a mixture of square-headed double- and single-windows, with two bays of much smaller windows. Those on the ground floor have rounded top corners and stone frames with draping brick lintels. The 2nd floor windows also have stone frames and brick lintels, while the upper floors only have stone sills with draping brick lintels. The bays of narrow windows on the first two floors have pointed arches. A metal fire escape runs down the center of the facade, which is topped by a corbelled band course above the 6th floor, and a crenelated parapet with stone coping at the roof line.

The building contains 60 apartment units.
