The Springfield Lofts are loft style apartments housed in the old Springfield Metallic Casket company building at 627 W Alexandrine Street in Midtown.
In the news
Built in 1930, the Springfield Lofts building has a long history with death. "Springfield" is an ode to the building's original tenant, the Springfield Metallic Casket Company. Rather than letting a loved one's body endure the "hideous violations of the earth" (decomposition) in a wooden casket, Detroiters might splurge for a metal Springfield, which promised a "dry burial" with a 50-year guarantee.
