The Brownleigh Apartments appear in the 1972 movie 'Hickey & Boggs'. At least some of the interior shots were filmed on location as well. Here's the front of the building on St Paul Avenue.

I'm guessing that must be the Victor with the "Single Apartments" sign. The site of the little house from the Cityscape seems to be a parking lot.
