It was nominated under Criterion A for its role in a 1950–1960s building boom and Criterion C for its architectural significance.Savage 2013 9 Architecture The building was designed by Smith, Hinchman & Grylls in the International Style. The exterior façade is composed of tinted windows set precast frames covered with charcoal-gray granite. The frames project from the façade creating a grid design similar to nearby 211 West Fort Street. The structure is composed of two rectangular towers set at a right-angle and joined by an elevator-utility core covered in glass and matching gray granite. This arrangement of the towers help it make the best use of its irregularly shaped lot. Floors 24 and 25 house mechanical equipment and the two-story ground floor originally housed a banking room and convenience store. The floors and interior lobby walls were originally faced with white marble. In 1967, the building's architectural firm received an Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects for the design.The 1967 Honor Awards https://www.amazon.com/JOURNAL-Honor-Awards-Adler-Sullivan/dp/B00EVUCT4U AIA Journal June 1967 44 American Institute of Architects 2014-02-28 Education The lofts are zoned to Detroit Public Schools Burton International School (K-8)"Elementary Boundaries - 2012/13 School Year."
