There are two noteworthy triple decker apartment houses built by Erick Kaller at 146 and 148 Eastern Avenue in Worcester, Massachusetts. Both were built in 1894 in a Queen Anne style, and were nearly identical, with projecting polygonal bay windows, and a single-story porch sheltering the entrance. The principal difference between the two is that 148 Eastern has flared siding skirts below its projecting bay windows.[2][3] Both have lost some of their styling due to subsequent exterior alterations, including the application of modern siding. (see photos) Erick Kaller was a worker in a local wire factory, and lived at #146. Most of the tenants were Scandinavian immigrants.[2][3]
Both buildings were listed separately on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
