Graybar Electric Company Building
Graybar Electric Company Building, Industrial building in Midtown Detroit, US.
The three-story brick and concrete structure features symmetrical design with brick piers rising from a stone string course between the first and second stories.
Constructed in 1926 by C.F. Haglin & Sons for Graybar Electric Company, which originated in 1869 as a communications equipment retailer in Cleveland.
The building transformation from electrical supplies warehouse to residential lofts in 2000 reflects Detroit's shift from industrial to residential urban development.
Located at 55 West Canfield Street, the building earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997 for its architectural significance.
After serving as Graybar's distribution center until the 1940s, the building housed the Detroit Board of Education's Audio-Visual Department for several decades.
