a frontage on Ambleside Drive. The building's access road was set back from Cedar Glen Parkway, and the structure's east wall from Ambleside. Ample vacant land at the rear of the building provided privacy. The first floor of the Georgian Revival-style building's exterior was clad in Indiana limestone, with the upper floors consisting of exposed brick with limestone trim at the corners and around the doorways. The windows were trimmed with stone. The building frame was steel, with walls, floors, and the roof of reinforced concrete. The cornice was topped by a balustrade consisting of terra cotta balusters and a stone railing. Stone urns rested atop the balustrade. The structure's exterior and interior masonry walls were certified by the Cleveland Clay League as using locally sourced materials, fireproof, and attractive. The E-shaped building had a garden forecourt deep and long. The apartment complex itself consisted of a six-story central tower equipped with an elevator, and two four-story walk-up wings (e.g., equipped with stairs but no elevator). Each wing, each connection, and the central tower all had their own entrances. The building had an underground 40-car garage with internal staircases (so patrons did not have to exit the garage to reach the interior of the building). As originally constructed, the Cedar Glen Apartments had 27 units ranging in size from four to eight rooms, some with servants' quarters. Intended as a luxury apartment, all the rooms were unusually large. Each bedroom had its own bathroom, and featured large windows. Each apartment had a fireplace of molded concrete, numerous closets, and enclosed radiators, and came equipped with the latest electronic work-saving appliances (such as a frost free refrigerator, dishwasher, and stove exhaust hood). The central tower was topped with a , two-story, 12-room, six-bath penthouse. Each room in the penthouse had ceilings. The upper floor of the penthouse consisted of two bedrooms and a bathroom. The final cost of the Cedar Glen Apartments was $650,000 ($ in dollars), slightly higher than its projected cost of $600,000 ($ in dollars), and the building was completed in July 1927.
