5. Rio Grande/Rio Vista
On the same block as The Rivercrest are The Rio Grande and The Rio Vista, at 15 and 21 Fort Washington Avenue, respectively. They are located along a curve as the street extends eastward toward Broadway. At first glance they appear to be a single building, but in fact are separate structures setback from the street and which form an unusual V-shaped facade. They feature buff-colored brick with ornate details primarily above the windows and below the roof line.
Designed by architects Gross & Kleinberger (no relation to Schwartz & Gross), the Rio Grande and Rio Vista were completed in 1912.
