Origins

Built in 1918 as the Tudor Hall Apartments, it featured many Senators and Congressmen as residents. Built during World War One, it boasted a Gothic style with 119 gargoyles adorning the exterior of the building (all of which still exist today.) In 1982 it was purchased by RB Properties and converted into a boutique hotel featuring all the original architecture.
