Lafayette Park, Detroit
Lafayette Park is a high rise residential neighborhood east of Downtown Detroit. The area is part of the Mies van der Rohe Residential District listed in the National Register of Historic Places.〔Vitullo-Martin, Julio, with photo by Mike Russell (December 22, 2007).(The Biggest Mies Collection: His Lafayette Park residential development thrives in Detroit ).''The Wall Street Journal''. Retrieved on January 1, 2009.〕 In 2015 it was designated a National Historic Landmark District. Lafayette Park is located on the city's lower east side directly south of the Eastern Market Historic District.
== Description ==
The development was originally planned as Gratiot Park in 1946 to replace the Black Bottom neighborhood considered a slum. Planned by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Ludwig Hilberseimer and Alfred Caldwell, the complex is a collection of one and two-story townhomes, a small neighborhood shopping center, and three high-rises set adjacent to a 19-acre municipally-operated park.〔http://www.miessociety.org/legacy/projects/lafayette-park/ Accessed 2/27/12〕
The residential buildings of Lafayette Park are classic examples of Mies' International Style, with their simplicity, clean proportions, and cladding of tinted glass and aluminum.
The complex is located roughly half-way between downtown and Chene Park, and are also close to Belle Isle and the MacArthur Bridge. There is also easy access to I-375, Gratiot Avenue, and Jefferson Avenue. Lafayette Park is also near the architecturally significant St. Joseph's Catholic Church and the Eastern Market Historic District.
