That's the York apartment building. Dating to the 1920s, I think and indeed unique in K-W. There was an interesting article about it in the Record a few years ago. Iirc, the apartments are failry large, with small kitchens. The building has had a problem with its plaster since it was built (can't remember the details, but the plaster apparently degrades in ways that it shouldn't).
