Built during the booming 1920s when the demand for apartments was high, this two-story red brick example has a low-pitched hipped roof with a centered hipped attic dormer vent. The building was constructed in a mix of Colonial Revival and Bungalow styles. The Colonial Revival style is revealed through the symmetrically composed façade; the Bungalow style through the brick porch piers, wood balustrade and exposed rafter tails. In 1925, Andrew Drenan Hunter, a credit manager for the Southwestern Paper Company, took out a loan for $8,500 for the construction of the building. Hunter and his wife, Shirley, were among the first occupants but they did not remain tenants for long. The building had several owners before being purchased by the Carillon Group of Dallas in 2001. At that time, the building underwent a sensitive rehabilitation using federal tax credits for certified historic structures. The building is a contributing resource in the Leuda-May Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. See also 301 and 311 W. Leuda Street. The district also includes the garage apartments at 309 W. Leuda and 807 May streets.
