Architecture
Alexander Chapoton, of one of Detroit's oldest French families, built the six-story red brick Romanesque mill-style building with load-bearing masonry walls and heavy timbered roof and floors. A 1 1⁄2-story entrance archway is located in the center bay on the south side, and is flanked by two concrete spheres. Redstone Architects designed the renovation for the building into office space in 1984.
