"This Kensington one-bedroom has some graceful details of the period such as a built-in niche with shelves alongside recent updates, including a renovated kitchen. It's on the fourth floor of 40 Tehama Street, a six-story, 75-unit brick elevator building. The apartment complex opened in 1939, according to the certificate of occupancy. The red-brick Streamline Moderne building detailed with vertical and horizontal lines of bricks was designed by busy architect firm Kavy & Kavovitt. Appointments at the time included Electrolux fridges, according to a contemporary ad."
"As is typical of apartments in the World War II era, the main rooms radiate off a central foyer, which in this case is generously sized and features the aforementioned arched niche with built-in shelves. Wide arched doorways lead to the living room and kitchen. Hardwood floors run throughout most rooms, and details like moldings, doors, and picture rails are intact. The good-sized living room has two windows at the far end."
