The apartment house representing one of Tomashevsky's "midget apartments" was built in the second half of 1939.
"Skillful planning by Architect Tomashevsky fitted this small tenement snugly into a limited lot on Route Delastre. Four apartments are contained in the building, each spreading over the entire floor" (Shanghai Times Industrial Supplement, Dec 1941).
The residents listed in 1947 were Miss L. Poletika, A. D. Pigulevsky and G. B. Rosen (office).
