This block of six two-bedroom flats with six garages was designed by Edith Ingpen in 1933 and built by R & E Seccull Pty Ltd for wealthy bookmaker, Henry Thomas Pamphilon. Ingpen was the first woman to gain an architecture degree from the University of Melbourne and this was her first commission. Ingpen has overcome the site’s narrow frontage by using broad balconies and horizontal banding to give the illusion of added breadth. The building also included a roof garden.

A gatepost to the building appears to have the name 'Kalingi' written on it, although the last letters are somewhat damaged.  The apartments have been known locally by this name for some years.  However a great nephew of the original owner, Peter Pamphilon, informs us that the real name is 'Kalingra'.  This has been confirmed by early newspaper advertisements.
