333 Covington Drive, Covington Arms Apartments--Detroit Mi
By the early 1950s, the era of ornate and exotic revival buildings in Palmer Park was long over, but tenants, or in the case of Covington Arms--owners, still wanted elegance and sophistication. Designed by Paul Tilds in the International style, Covington Arms consisted of units from 1800-2400 square feet, designed by the unit's owner and architect. In total, the owners spent over one million in cash to create this up-to-date co-op building. In 2005 the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (as part of the Palmer Park Apartment Buildings Historic District (Boundary Increase) ). The City of Detroit has now recognized the Palmer Park Apartment District as a local historic district, and 333 Covington is a contributing property.
