Forest Arms apartments was was built in 1905 and is located in the Wayne State University housing district. A corner stone beside the front entrance proclaims the date it was built. Forest Arms fits in with other Victorian era buildings in the area. (*1) On February 6, a major fire destroyed the entire site. Forest Arms has no roof or top floor. Windows are gaping portals to the sky instead of apartments. The facade seems to be intact and structurally sound.
