The Palms Apartments were built between 1901 and 1903. Standing six-stories high, the building was one of the first buildings constructed with reinforced concrete. The cost of construction was around $80,000. The building was designed by Albert Kahn and George Mason.
The building was meant for high-class residence. The building was faced in limestone, and was constructed in a "U" shape. The facade is symmetrical with octagonal towers.

The original floor plans of The Palms consisted of a double parlor in the front and a dining room with a fireplace in the back, separated by bedrooms, libraries, baths and more.
The large apartments were divided into smaller apartments in the 1930s. Many of the original details still exist on the interior and exterior today.
