==History==
Edwin S. George was an important businessman in Detroit at the turn of the 20th century.〔(Garfield Building ) from Detroit1701.org.〕 He first came to Detroit in 1890 and worked as a furrier, opening his own wholesale and retail fur company in 1897. He became involved in Detroit's automobile industry and was an important developer of the stretch of Woodward between Grand Circus Park and Warren Avenue.
In 1908, George hired architect Albert Kahn to design a two-story building which would include rental space for auto parts suppliers and manufacturers. This building opened as the Edwin S. George Building.〔 In 1914, George had three additional floors added to the building (also designed by Kahn〔(Garfield Building ) from State of Michigan Historic Preservation.〕) and changed the name to the Garfield building. George owned the building until 1942, when he sold it to a real estate investment firm.〔 Wayne County Community College used the Garfield Building in the 1970s. The building was converted to condominiums in 2000, and became known as the Lofts at Garfield.
