  • Eddystone Hotel Historic District
    City of Detroit CITY COUNCIL Historic Designation Advisory Board Final Report Proposed Eddystone Hotel Historic District By a resolution dated July 20, 2005, the Detroit City Council charged the Historic Designation Advisory Board, a study committee, with the official study of the proposed Eddystone Hotel Historic District in accordance with Chapter 25 of the 1984 Detroit City Code and the Michigan Local Historic Districts Act. The proposed Eddystone Hotel Historic District consists of the one building addressed as110 Sproat Street, located on the northeast corner of Park Avenue and Sproat opposite the former Park Avenue Hotel. It is generally situated one block west of Woodward Avenue and three blocks north of the Fisher Freeway (I-75), just north of the central business district. It is across the street from the Park Avenue Hotel, a proposed historic district. Boundary Description: The boundaries of the proposed Eddystone Hotel Historic District are outlined in heavy black on the attached map, and are as follows: On the north, the north line of Lot 20 Block 76 Sub Part Park Lots 72, 73, 74, 75, 76 (Deeds), L53 P196; on the east, the centerline of Park Boulevard; on the south, the centerline of Sproat; and on the west, the centerline of alley running north-south from Temple to Sproat, behind the Park Boulevard frontage. Boundary justification : The boundary description is the same as the footprint of the Kamper-designed historic building. History: The Eddystone Hotel is one of three Italian Renaissance-inspired hotels constructed along Park Avenue for Detroit hotel man Lew W. Tuller during the 1920s, a boom period in Detroit’s history that saw the construction of a number of luxurious hotels to accommodate the rapidly rising number of visitors to and transient and permanent residents in the city.

High Style Queen Anne House, 1315 McKinley Avenue featuring an irregular roof form and slightly off-center two-story tower with conical roof on the front elevation. The single-story porch has an off-center entry accented with a shallow pediment. Eastlake details like spindles, a turned balustrade, and turned posts adorn the porch, which extends across the full front elevation and wraps around one corner. The house at 1315 McKinley Avenue also displays a wraparound porch, spindle detailing, steep roof, fish scale wall shingles, and cut-away bay on the front elevation. An umbrage porch on the second floor and multi-level gables on the primary façade add to the asymmetrical character of the house. More typical examples of Queen Anne houses in the district display a variety of these stylistic features. Examples of more common Queen Anne residences in Bay City include 1214 Fifth Street, 600 North Monroe Street, and 1516 Sixth Street (Figures 6.2-9, 6.2-10, and 6.2-11). In general, these buildings have irregular footprints and roof forms. Hipped roofs with cross-gabled bays are common, as are hip-on-gable or jerkinhead details. Porch styles vary but typically extend across the full or partial length of the front elevation and wrap around the building corner.
