Lee Plaza, Art Deco apartment building in Detroit, United States.

The 16-story Lee Plaza features orange-glazed brick, terracotta sculptures, and Mediterranean-influenced architectural elements on West Grand Boulevard.

Ralph T. Lee commissioned this $2.5 million residential complex in 1927, marking the peak of Detroit's economic growth before the Great Depression.

The building's Peacock Alley displayed blue, gold, and green coffered ceilings above Italian marble floors and walnut wood paneling.

The structure contained 220 apartments with modern amenities including daily maid service, a grocery store, beauty parlor, and game rooms.

Each apartment featured a Servidor, a specialized cabinet system for dry cleaning services without direct contact between residents and staff.
