This three-story apartment building was constructed in 1922 to help ease a housing shortage in Houston. It was built and owned by Robert C. Duff, a prominent Texas railroad man and banker before the Great Depression.

The Sheridan is one of Houston's few remaining "flats" from the 1920s and 1930s. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1984
