West By the River Historic District
Built in the early 1900's, the Colonial Apartments was among the most prestigious in the city. The previously well-maintained complex, featuring huge pillars and comfortable balconies, overlooks Middle Avenue near the heart of town. Constructed of brick and 5 stories in height, the most distinctive features are the tier of front porches supported by enormous Ionic columns and an interior skylit lightcourt which provide natural light into the staircase and interior hallways. This building is in the Colonial Revival style. Sadly the current owner is a ‘slumlord’ and no longer maintains the property.
