Renovation Detroit: Historic Windows for the Detroit Foundation Hotel

Historic Replication

Windows: Quaker’s H-Series Single Hungs, Fixed Windows and Arch-Head Fixed Windows, plus historically accurate matching panning and trim. Painted in Quaker’s Resembles Dark Bronze to resemble an anodized finish.

One of the most spectacular renovations in downtown Detroit in recent years is the Detroit Foundation Hotel. The longtime Fire Department Headquarters was transformed into a chic hotel right across from Cobo Center using Quaker Historical Window series with custom pannings and trim to resemble the historically accurate nature of the building.  The redesign incorporates original details—tiling, marble, flooring—with salvaged wood, modern light fixtures, and local Detroit art.
