USA / New Jersey / Hoboken / Fifth Avenue, 20
 Art Deco (architecture), apartment building
161-foot, 17-story Neo-Classical residential building completed in 1941 for the Simons Brothers, developers. Designed by Boak & Paris, it also has Greek motifs. The first floor is of stone and may best be described as a vertically reeded wall. Above, a simple dark-red brick treatment features full height wall recesses and broad steel casement windows. Horizontal stone band courses have a unifying effect between the third and fourth floors and, near the top, beneath the broad stone coping. The facade features several angled corner windows. This apartment house has its main entrance at Nos. 2-4 West Ninth Street.
