What's special
This long, narrow courtyard building both stands out and complements its neighbors: The yellow brick facade contrasts with the surrounding red, yet it reflects the same clean design and geometric details produced during the Arts and Craft movement. As a tribute to classic architecture, Greek pediments top the projected window bays. The courtyard, which brings natural light and fresh air to the buildings interiors, provides a private, landscaped respite with which to welcome you home.
