The design of the rowhouse was called the "New York Style", although the general flavor is Romanesque Revival. In July and August of 1919, this was where Fitzgerald rewrote the manuscript that became his first novel, This Side of Paradise.

Number 599 Summit Avenue is the westernmost, but one, of a row of eight locally-distinguished Victorian residences built in 1889. Known as Summit Terrace, the row is structurally one building, although the facade is composed of a variety of elements projecting bays, conical turrets, and eaves galleries executed in rough-faced brownstone.
