The 1928 Balmoral Apartments, B. Coon & Son Architects.
The Balmoral Apartments were designed by noted local architect Robert West. The building was one of the first in the Palmer Park area to have corner casement windows.
This Moderne style building has contrasting bricks with horizontal stone trim at each of the corner windows. The roofline is edged with stone, as well. In the context of the eclecticism of most Palmer Park apartment buildings, the Balmoral is noted for its perfectly symmetrical facade.
The New York Times (November 28, 2010) declared casement windows are architects' "new darling...a tribute to pre-war architecture." This building should qualify as an "old darling" then.
The Balmoral was among the first buildings in Palmer Park to have corner windows. It is one of several in the Park area designed by Robert West.
