The apartments were constructed in January of 1980 with a generous donation from W.B. and Ruth Howard. W.B. Howard was a successful farmer, stockman and private oil promoter. Ruth Howard was a home economics teacher for many years.

Originally, 20 apartments were constructed with four different sizes—efficiency, one bedroom/one bath, two-bedroom/one bath and two bedroom/two baths. In March of 2004 six of the efficiencies were converted into two-bedroom apartments and totally redecorated leaving a total of 16 apartments.
