Liko kwenye barabara kuu iliyoipa jina kitongoji maarufu cha Stuyvesant Heights, 400 Stuyvesant Ave huvuta macho mara moja kwa uso wake wa chokaa uliochongwa kwa ustadi, wenye vishikio vya mapambo vyenye michoro ya majani, fremu za mapambo juu ya madirisha na mlango wa kuingilia ulioinuka kwa ngazi pana unaokumbusha fahari ya enzi zilizopita.

Jengo lenye vipimo vya 22X75 lipo kwenye kiwanja cha kona cha 22X95, kwenye makutano ya Stuyvesant Ave na Bainbridge St—barabara zote mbili zikiwa na historia na ulinzi wa kihistoria.
