The building is significant as representing the urbanization of Salt Lake City during 1890–1930, a period in which more than 180 "urban apartments" (apartment buildings) were built. Urban apartments were a new and important type of housing, that "document[ed] the accommodation of builders and residents to the realities of crowded living conditions and high land values", as opposed to suburban style architecture that would signify denial of urbanization.[2]: 4
The apartment building was built for about $80,000 and its apartments were advertised as "Splendid 3-room apartments, equipped with electric ranges and electric refrigeration. $40.00 to $42.00. One of the most modernly equipped and conveniently located apartments in the city."[2]: 4–5
The apartments were renovated in 2007.
