Developer Sturtevant Realty Co. hired architect Albert Joseph Bodker to design the 12-story Turin, which was completed in 1910 after eight rowhouses on the site were demolished in 1909. The building cost an estimated $750,000. Its plan wraps around four light courts so that every apartment room has an outside window.
