The seven story Yale Apartments, also known as The Yale, is an important "first generation" residential high-rise, a building type made possible by advances in building structure and technology, and reflects the great growth in real estate development which typified the city in the 1890s. The building is a large-scale example of Romanesque Revival architecture style popularized by the buildings of Henry H. Richardson, and exhibits excellent craftsmanship in both materials and detailing. The Yale Apartments also possesses a rare interior atrium, ringed with galleries and topped by a glass-and-metal skylight.cite web|url=http://www.ci.chi.il.us/Landmarks/Y/YaleApartments.html|title=Chicago Landmarks - Yale Apartments|date=2007-07-23|work=Chicago Landmark|publisher=City of Chicago Department of Planning and Development, Landmarks Division.]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 05 1998, and later designated a Chicago Landmark on April 9 2003.cite web|url=http://www.nr.nps.gov/|title=National Register Information System|date=2007-01-23|work=National Register of Historic Places|publisher=National Park Service] cite web|url=http://www.ci.chi.il.us/Landmarks/Y/YaleApartments.html|title=Chicago Landmarks - Yale Apartments|date=2007-07-23|work=Chicago Landmark|publisher=City of Chicago Department of Planning and Development, Landmarks Division.]
