Town Apartments, Art Deco apartment building in Downtown Detroit, United States
Town Apartments is an Art Deco apartment building in downtown Detroit with 16 stories and a U-shaped design on its upper floors. The facade combines tan brick, granite, and Mankato stone, displaying the geometric patterns typical of Art Deco architecture.
Construction started in 1928 but was halted for two decades due to the Great Depression, finally completing in 1953. The extended timeline meant the structure remained unfinished through much of the economic downturn before work resumed.
The building was originally designed as a clubhouse for Detroit's chapter of the National Town and Country Club, which later became known as the Pontchartrain Club. This purpose shaped how the space functioned within the city's social life.
The building can be viewed from the street to admire its Art Deco details and exterior. Since it remains residential, interior access is not available to visitors.
The building underwent significant modernization during a 2016 renovation, receiving new heating systems, windows, kitchens, and flooring. This restoration brought the long-dormant structure back into active residential use.
