Located in a National Register Historic District, this Spanish-Moorish style building contains complicated brick corbelling, projected brick bays, entry arcade and courtyard, and a variety of molded limestone details that have been painstakingly restored to like-new condition. Residential units, ranging from 1-3 bedrooms, were re-designed for better efficiency and desireability. The Ladybug Art Gallery and Studio located are in the building's lower level providing exhibition space, a ceramics studio, a computer lab and a multi-purpose classroom that together foster an inviting and creative environment for local area artists.
