The Chateau Frontenac Apartments was an apartment building located at 10410 East Jefferson Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991,[1] but was subsequently demolished.
Description
The Chateau Frontenac was an eight-story apartment building constructed from buff brick, with off-white terra cotta details and a hipped roof of green Spanish tile.[2] The building was Mediterranean Revival with some French Gothic accents, and covered an "E"-shaped plan area.[2] The entranceway was through a tile-roofed projecting pavilion containing a terra cotta fountain with a dolphin motif.[2] Cartouches of terra cotta were placed between the top-floor windows, and decorative terra cotta eave brackets were beneath the roof. Three-sided multi-paned bay windows projected into the courtyard.[2]
History
The Chateau Frontenac Apartments was originally designed and owned by architect J. Will Wilson.[2] However, Wilson apparently had financial troubles during the construction of the building, and he was forced to sell the building in 1927.[2] The building had a succession of owners[2] from that time until its eventual demolition.
