River Terrace Apartments
River Terrace Apartments, Colonial Revival apartment building in Detroit, United States.
The River Terrace Apartments complex consists of four separate structures surrounding a large garden space that slopes toward the Detroit River at Jefferson Avenue.
Built in 1939 at a cost of $1,250,000, this development was the first new apartment complex constructed along the Detroit River since the late 1920s.
The architectural design includes Georgian Revival details, limestone beltcourses between floors, and raised brick quoining that exemplifies Federal Housing Administration standards from the period.
The complex contains 178 residential units, ranging from two-and-a-half room studio apartments to five-room full apartments, with river views from multiple angles.
Each of the four buildings features a different footprint, creating an undulating pattern that maximizes access to the Detroit River shoreline.
