Built in 1911, the three-story brick building has eighteen units. Architect Francis M. Barton designed the building in a style inspired by the Prairie School. The building's design features segmental arched entrances, egg-and-dart decoration, patterned brickwork with horizontal themes, and overhanging bracketed eaves. The design was initially controversial for leaving no space between the building and the sidewalk, breaking from the Prairie School principle of including green space in front of a recessed building to blend in with nearby single-family homes. Prominent architect and Evanston resident Thomas Tallmadge described the building as "equally oblivious to the rights of neighbors and to the principles of good design" in a 1919 issue of the journal ''The American Architecture''.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Benjamin |first1=Susan |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory - Nomination Form: Suburban Apartment Buildings in Evanston, Illinois |url=https://npgallery.nps.gov/GetAsset/0ed9030d-a452-4426-a568-64852963c213 |publisher=National Park Service |access-date=April 5, 2020 |date=October 20, 1983}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Benjamin |first1=Susan |title=The Judson |url=http://gis.hpa.state.il.us/pdfs/201495.pdf |publisher=Illinois Historic Preservation Division |access-date=April 5, 2020 |date=September 1983}}{{dead link|date=February 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>
