It was named to the National Register of Historic Places in March 1984 as part of the Evanston submission "Suburban Apartment Buildings in Evanston, Illinois". It was noted that the "suburban apartment embodies some very special characteristics such as picturesque massing, domestic scale, high-quality detailing, homelike interior features, excellent light and ventilation, and usually some type of public court. .... The well designed suburban apartment is as nearly like a single-family house as possible." All of these features are found at 548 Michigan. The southeast Evanston location is just two blocks to South Boulevard beach and four blocks to the South Blvd EL. The Main Street business area offering shops, restaurants, and the Metra is also a few blocks away.
