Alden Park Towers

The Alden Park Manor is architecturally significant for its robust Tudor character and for its massive size; it is among the largest and most imposing apartment buildings on East Jefferson Avenue, and in Detroit in general. The building was constructed in 1922-23 and originally contained 32 apartments. It is an outstanding demonstration of the application of ancient decorative motives to a modern building.

Alden Park Manor, located on the southeast side of East Jefferson Avenue, consists of four eight-story, cruciform-plan buildings, interconnected at the first story. It is a massive Tudor Revival-style structure with red brick facades and stone trim. The first story contains services such as a grocery store and laundry; its exterior is stone-faced. In front, limestone crenelations run along the roof line, and projecting bay windows, which rise the full height of the building, terminate in octagonal agee roofs.

The main entrance is housed in a one-story projection of the northwest facade. The entrance is heavily decorated with Tudor-style ornamentation.
