Architecturally striking and generously scaled, The Siena enjoys a distinctive location beside the landmarked St. Jean Baptiste Roman Catholic Church, designed in 1913 by Nicolas Serracino. The building pays homage to the church’s grandeur while offering a refined, modern interpretation—featuring a stone and granite base that aligns with the rectory’s cornice line. The Siena’s own corner towers echo the church’s architectural elements, culminating in a dramatic thirty-five-foot-tall, octagonal ornamental crown that houses the building’s equipment. Widely recognized as a standout example of Post-Modern design, critics have praised The Siena for its harmonious proportions, carefully executed setbacks, and detailed recesses—making it a thoughtful, contemporary complement to its historic neighbor.
