Michigan Bell and Western Electric Warehouse
Michigan Bell and Western Electric Warehouse, Art Deco warehouse in Detroit, United States
The Michigan Bell and Western Electric Warehouse features orange bricks arranged in patterns with vertical lines and a central tower rising to twelve stories.
Built in 1930, this warehouse provided storage, garage space, and offices for both Michigan Bell telephone company and its equipment supplier Western Electric until 1958.
The building incorporates Art Deco elements throughout its structure, including aluminum panels with lightning bolt patterns and a phone cable reel keystone above the entrance.
The structure now contains permanent housing units along with amenities such as a gym, library, computer room, recreation facilities, and supportive service offices.
The former warehouse displayed a prominent Weather-Phone sign until the mid-1980s, providing nighttime weather forecasts to motorists on the Lodge Freeway.
