4365 Newport St, Detroit, MI 48215

The parcel features the 48,920 square foot George Hosmer Intermediate School building. Designed by the locally prominent architectural firm of Malcomson, Higginbotham & Palmer, the building was erected in 1921 with a complementary addition completed in 1925. Following its completion, the Detroit Free Press lauded Hosmer as “a model of construction and appointments”, proclaiming that the school was “one of the most modern in Detroit.” Although currently vacant, the building remains as an extremely handsome Collegiate Gothic style edifice. The building’s classrooms are arranged in a double-loaded, L-plan which is broken by a central cluster of large common spaces to include a gym, auditorium, and an open former playroom area. The parcel presents a unique development opportunity as it includes a relatively compact building with a straightforward floorplan that sits on an expansive open site.
