Electrograph Building Parducci’s

Located at Fort and Vinewood in southwest Detroit, I spied this handsome Art Deco building, with what looked to be some of Corrado Parducci’s work up above.

The building today houses the Latino Family Services, who have been around since 1971.

I checked in with my associate Einar who is the resident Parducci expert, and asked him to check his databases. Sure enough it is a Parducci, architect unknown.

It is a great example of art deco, and in fantastic shape.

Not much info on the fire Insurance Maps, but they do give a year of construction of 1930.

Anyone know anything about the Electrograph company?

  • COOL! I worked there back in the mid/late 80's for Latino Outreach as a girl scout counselor. It is a great building from the inside, as well. Is there any chance you might post more Photo Du Jour in SW Detroit? I don't live in the state anymore, so I rely on DetroitYes and Photo Du Jour for my "home sweet home fix".

  • I was just trying to find out some information on my grandmother I did email that address before I seen that somebody else posted that that email was not good anymore so I don't know where to go from here maybe one of you can tell me where I can go I even tried ancestry.com Itq gave me a little information but very little
