Then and Now: The Argyle

The Argyle, located at the intersection of Park Road and 17th Streets, was built in 1913 by Kennedy Brothers from plans by architect Alexander H. Sonnemann at the end of the Mt. Pleasant streetcar line. It was constructed of tapestry brick with limestone trimmings. The building contained 42 apartments and had an annual rental income of $26,000 in 1915.

Today, the building has been converted into a 39-unit condominium, most of which are 2-bedroom, 2 bath units. It was slowly renovated over the last several years from what had become a 77-unit apartment building. Prices for the units have ranged from the upper $300,000s to the lower $400,000s. A currently listing can be found here.
