History

The Herman W. Hellman building was erected in 1903 by Herman W. Hellman, a German-born American Jewish businessman and banker.[1] It was designed by architect Alfred Rosenheim.[1][3]
It took the place of a house originally built by Hellman, a small wooden cottage, designed by Kysor & Mathews in 1875.[4]
More recently, the building has been converted into the HWH Luxury Living apartments.[5]
