Charles Trowbridge House, Victorian residence in Detroit, United States.
The Charles Trowbridge House stands at 1380 East Jefferson Avenue, featuring Federal architectural elements combined with Victorian modifications including a three-sided bay window.
Built in 1826 for $2,500, this structure holds the distinction of being the oldest documented building still standing within Detroit's city limits.
The residence reflects the evolution of Detroit's architectural preferences, transitioning from its original Greek Revival Federal style to incorporate Victorian elements during the 1800s.
The property currently functions as office space, housing multiple businesses including Trowbridge Law Firm, Trowbridge Realty, and RBD Creative.
The house underwent a significant modification in 1889 when its eastern two bays were removed, transforming the original five-bay structure into a three-bay configuration.
