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 a portion of the site. Now the upper apartment windows are gaping portals to the sky, where dwellings once were.
