The two apartment buildings feature alternating sections of white and brown brick on either side of Dumont Avenue in Brownsville. The complex was named for pioneering African-American scholar Carter Woodson, who founded Negro History Week in 1926, a celebration that eventually grew into Black History Month. The 25-story 393 Powell Street comprises 288 apartments with an average size of 613 square feet.
