Edwin S. George Building
Edwin S. George Building, National Register of Historic Places building in Midtown Detroit, Michigan.
The Edwin S. George Building at 4612 Woodward Avenue features a white glazed terra cotta facade with a square shape and flat roof design.
Albert Kahn designed this two-story structure in 1908, and later added three more floors in 1914 when it became known as the Garfield Building.
Edwin S. George commissioned this building to accommodate auto parts suppliers, contributing to Detroit's industrial development along Woodward Avenue between Grand Circus Park and Warren Avenue.
The structure underwent conversion into residential spaces in 2000, transforming into the Lofts at Garfield while maintaining its architectural elements.
The building served multiple purposes throughout its history, including housing Wayne County Community College during the 1970s before its residential conversion.
