Somerset Apartments, Residential complex in Jefferson Corridor, Detroit, United States.
The Somerset Apartments complex consisted of five interconnected rectangular buildings, each four stories tall, extending back from Jefferson Avenue with limestone and brick facades.
Built in 1922 by architect C. Howard Crane, the Somerset Apartments earned National Register of Historic Places status in 1985 before being demolished in 2014.
The complex represented middle-class residential architecture of the 1920s, reflecting the period when Detroit's automotive industry created demand for quality apartment housing.
Located at 1523 East Jefferson Avenue, the complex contained 80 residential units across 45,000 square feet of living space.
The buildings featured symmetrical designs with arched windows on the first floor and a detailed dentiled cornice with white frieze along the roofline.
