At seven stories this office building was the Delta’s tallest building until matched by the seven-story Greenville Hotel in 1935. The concrete-framed building has a stucco-covered base, a brown brick shaft, a steel-framed stucco-finished top floor, and, originally, a popular roof garden. The removal of a bracketed pent tile roof that stretched between the corner pavilions has made the building seem top-heavy. The building was converted to apartments in 2011.
The four-story former New Alcazar Hotel (1914–1915; 127 3rd Street) designed by Charles O. Pfeil as an addition to the Alcazar Hotel (burned 1947) was remodeled in 1948 by Anker F. Hansen. Its red brick exterior is enlivened with cast stone, terra-cotta, tripartite windows, and patterned brickwork. Two wings of rooms wrap around a two-story lobby and mezzanine in a U-shape that allowed natural light and ventilation into every room.
