This three-storey brick apartment block on Grosvenor Avenue was designed by architect Cyril William Upton Chivers and built in 1912 by the firm of Macaw and Macdonald at a cost of about $32,000. The 75 feet by 42 feet building contained six apartments in its original configuration. It contains four apartments today. Known initially as Grosvenor Court, it was later renamed Crescent Grove Apartments.
