History

In 1901, Isaac and Rachel Applebaum purchased a plot of land along Milwaukee near Woodward. Issac was a general railway supply manufacturer, but retired to invest in real estate. He quickly constructed a commercial building at the corner of Milwaukee and Woodward. In 1904, he hired Detroit architects Raseman & Fisher to design a small apartment building, then known as the Ray Apartments. The newly opened building had a doctor's office in the basement and averaged five or six tenants on the residential floors.[2]

In 1909, Isaac Applebaum sold the building to Abraham Cohen, a prominent hotel owner. In 1922, Cohen constructed a large addition on the rear of the building, increasing the number of apartments to thirty. When the addition was completed in 1923, Cohen changed the building name to the Millwood Apartments. Cohen sold the building in 1928.[2]
