The Doldertal Apartment Houses (German: Mehrfamilienhäuser Doldertal) are a group of modern apartment buildings in Doldertal, a suburb of Zürich on the slope of the Adlisberg mountain. The buildings were designed by architects Alfred Roth, Emil Roth, and reviewed by Marcel Breuer. They were built in 1936.[1][2][3][4]
