Washington Apartments is an apartment building located at 927 South Washington Avenue in Lansing, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2024.[1]
The Washington Apartments was constructed in 1922 to house factory workers from the nearby Reo Motor Car Company Plant. It was one of the largest residential apartment buildings constructed in Lansing during this period in the early twentieth century.[2]
However, the building was plagued with issues in the 21st century. The city of Lansing issued citations in 2012 and 2015. The city of Lansing ordered the building be vacated in September 2019 because the owners did not have a valid rental certificate. It remained vacant through 2024.[3]
The Washington Apartments is a six story rectangular brick building with a flat asphalt roof. The front facade of the building contains three projecting bays; the main entrance is located in the central bay. An ornate painted wooden entryway surrounds the entrance doors. Each floor of the building contains double hung windows of varying sizes throughout. The building retains its original appearance with only minor modifications.[2]
