Bandes Development, through its Sheridan 159th Street Corp., filed plans in 1937 for this six-story apartment house at East 159th Street and Concourse Village West, finished in 1938 to designs by Samson V. Becker. Its beige brick walls have a rusticated base, stylized piers and banded spandrels at the wrap-around corner windows, and the entrance has a cast-stone portico with Art Deco details. Fire escapes carry decorative railings, and low brick walls enclose planting beds along the front.
