[5] The building has a "dramatic coffered ceiling in the lobby" and a French sheet metal mansard roof with cornice and entablature, and exterior masonry and terra-cotta.

It included a ground-floor wood storefront that was once a "Ladies Reception Hall"[8] and an "opulent" basement cafe.

[5] In 2013, TMT applied to the city to tear down the structure,[11] but those plans were canceled when the building was sold again in 2014, to Arthur Mutal LLC.

As of 2016, the planned renovation and conversion was expected to cost $30 million, funded by NBP Capital, Provenance Hotels and Arthur Mutal.

[13] The hotel created from the combined buildings was to be named The Woodlark and was slated to have 151 rooms[14] and two restaurants or bars.
