The Hemmeter Building in Detroit, Michigan, has a rich history dating back to its construction in 1911 as the new home of the Hemmeter Cigar Factory. Designed by architect Richard E. Raseman, this seven-story brick factory was a modern, fireproof structure equipped with an electric elevator and sprinkler system.
Throughout the years, the Hemmeter Building housed various businesses, including the Schulte Optical Co. and American Telephone and Telegraph Co. Today, the building retains much of its original appearance, showcasing neoclassical architectural elements such as stone belt courses, arched windows, and a modillion cornice.
