As with many early 20th century buildings in Hyde Park, Ellis Street Apartments is a combination of European architectural styles. True to the Arts & Crafts and Mission styles, the building's simple, geometric limestone details communicate the natural beauty of brick and stone, peppered with flowery Art Nouveau style ornamentation. Interiors are restored to highlight the original mosaic tile floors and hand-crafted wood banisters including Mission and Tiffany style fixtures.
