Project Location

Westdale and StreetLights plan to build two new apartment buildings next door to the landmark Adam Hats building on Canton Street.

A four-story building would stretch along Canton at Crowdus Street. Behind that, the plan is to build a 17-story apartment tower next to the elevated highway behind the Adam Hats Building.

“It will be primarily clad in brick masonry with cast stone detailing, and partially clad with metal panels,” according to the Landmark Commission filing. “The overall design is intended to be a contemporary interpretation of the Adam Hats building design.

“A rooftop sign, inspired by the billboards on the historic structure, is also proposed,” according to the report. “The area between the Adam Hats building and this new construction is intended to be a courtyard for the tenants of the buildings.”

The more than century-old Adam Hats Building started out as a manufacturing plant for the Ford Motor Co.
