This two-story Pueblo Revival style apartment building was built by CURTISS-BRIGHT COMPANY in 1925-26. The building is "V" shaped on a triangular lot. The uneven parapet walls with Mission bell cote motifs at regular intervals and the heavy buttressing at ground level are interesting features. This historic building was constructed prior to the much grander HOTEL COUNTRY CLUB (1927) and was used by many of the town's residents as a shelter during the disastrous hurricane of September 1926, which caused extensive property damage in the Hialeah area. Placed on the NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES in 1985.
