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 Sunday Times, Dec 1934)
