Frederick Stearns Building, Manufacturing plant on East Jefferson Avenue in Detroit, United States.

The Frederick Stearns Building features a symmetric brick facade with projecting pavilions, limestone-trimmed windows, and a central arched stone entryway with a clock.

Frederick Stearns & Company, a pharmaceutical manufacturer established in 1855, commissioned architect William B. Stratton to design this building, completed in 1899 for $85,000.

The structure represents Detroit's industrial heritage as it transformed from production facilities and warehouses into modern residential lofts while maintaining its architectural elements.

Located at 6533 East Jefferson Avenue, the building now operates as the Lofts at Rivertown, offering residential spaces in a National Register of Historic Places structure.

The building combines its original three-story 1899 structure with a later fourth floor addition and a concrete expansion designed by architect Albert Kahn around 1910.

Location: Detroit

Architects: William Buck Stratton
