Four Plex Apartment for M. D. Schroder & Associates

2014.1.1502.1-4

This cluster of 15 fourplex apartment buildings was commissioned in April of 1962, located in the Mount Vernon Estate subdivision, along Washington Ave., just west of Las Vegas Blvd. The complex complemented the Biltmore Estate subdivision, located just south of the property line, built to accommodate the servicemen during WWII.

The rectangular massing, flat roofline, and symmetrical fenestration, evokes the mid-century aesthetic of the stucco box apartment in a garden apartment setting. Each unit in the fourplex contained a 2-bedroom apartment with updated amenities and a private storage space separating the horizontal units. Parking and green spaces were designed unto the property, with a shared laundry units on the ground floor of every fourplex. All of the apartment units are still extant with very minimal alterations.
