Ridgemede Apartments (1940), Conversion to Condos (1991)
The Ridgemede, a Mullan Construction Company project, was the last apartment building built before World War II in Tuscany-Canterbury. The Tudor style matches the homes on Ridgemede and Tuscany Roads; including leaded glass windows similar to the homes in the area. The five-story building follows the slope of the hill down to Linkwood Road. The challenge of building on a hillside, was solved by constructing a building that is entered on the third floor.
Porches and balconies on the west side of the building overlook the Stony Run. The building’s landscaping provides space for trees and gardens all around the building. The garage was built into the hill on the Ridgemede Alley. A separate resident-only garden extends from the south side of the building to the Ridgemede Alley above the garage roof with landscaping of the Alley completing the green space.
