The building was built in 1929-30 as an apartment hotel, a common type of housing for Chicago laborers in the 1920s.

The hotel's Art Deco design reflects the national popularity of the style in the 1920s.

The building's piers give it a vertical emphasis common to Art Deco works, and its decorative elements reflect the style's geometric focus.
