The Industrial-Stevens Apartments (formerly the "Industrial Building Apartments") in downtown Detroit, Michigan is a high-rise built in 1928. It is located at 1410 Washington Boulevard, and occupies the building block bordered by West Grand River Avenue and Washington Boulevard. The residential building stands 22 storeys tall, with 21 above-ground floors, and one basement level. Architect Louis Kamper designed the Book Tower and the Industrial-Stevens (right) both of which are pictured.
Industrial-Stevens Apartments are seen to the left of the Shelby and Griswold Street DDOT bus parkade.
The residential building was designed with an interesting mixture of art deco and art moderne architectural designs. The roof has a very intricate design of limestone cornices. It has arched windows, reminiscent of the art deco style of architecture.
A fire struck the building in February 2003, temporarily displacing over 100 residents.
