The Kean, Art Deco apartment building on East Jefferson Avenue, Detroit, United States.
The Kean stands sixteen stories tall with four apartments per floor, featuring orange terra cotta entrance, inset medallions, and Corinthian columns.
Built in 1931 by architect Charles Noble, this residential tower marked the last major apartment construction on Jefferson Avenue before World War II.
The building demonstrates the Art Deco movement through its geometric forms, vertical lines, and decorative elements including gargoyles and checkerboard patterns.
Located at 8925 East Jefferson Avenue, The Kean continues to function as a residential building while maintaining its original architectural features.
The hipped roof structure incorporates red and white checkerboard edging and multiple projecting gargoyles that distinguish it from other Detroit apartments.
