The building has two wings: The first was built in 1905, and the second wing was constructed in 1911.[3] In 1982, Barr's grandson sold the building for $6.3 million to developers, who converted it to condominiums.
The building is composed of 106 apartments, 76 in the South Wing and 30 in the North Wing.
Featured in book, The Lost Child of Philomena Lee, as the weekday residence of her son, who worked for the Republican National Committee, and his partner.
