Chatsworth Apartments: 630 Merrick Street, Wayne State University--Detroit MI

The Chatsworth was constructed in 1928 in the Italian Renaissance style and designed by the firm of Pollmar, Ropes & Lundy. The building is now owned by Wayne State University for student housing. An unusual feature of the Chatsworth for its time was an underground parking structure--another example of how the automobile was affecting architecture and the urban landscape.
