El Tovar Apartments, Art Deco apartment building on East Grand Boulevard, Detroit, United States.
The El Tovar Apartments features a four-story orange brick facade with limestone trim, terra-cotta accents, and Spanish tile roof at 320 East Grand Boulevard.
Constructed in 1928 by architect Robert J. West for the Sumeracki developers, the building received National Register of Historic Places recognition in 1991.
The building represents the residential shift in Detroit during the 1920s, when apartment developments emerged as preferred housing solutions in urban areas.
The structure contains 73 residential units and features a central pavilion entrance, marked by carved lion figures along the entrance sidewalk.
Minaret towers project from the gabled roof while pseudo-flying buttresses and stylized crenellations create distinctive architectural elements throughout the building.
