The Argus
Building has had a diverse and unique history having
been home to a variety of Ann Arbor based businesses.
Beginning in 1939, the building was home for the Argus
Camera Company which manufactured many of the
best selling camera's in America. The Argus Camera
Company remained in the building until Sylvania purchased
the firm in 1954. The University of Michigan purchased the
building in 1963 and then sold the building to a partnership
lead by First Martin Corporation and O'Neal Construction in 1983.
After substantial renovation and restoration, the building now
provides an academic and research environment to a variety of
businesses and the University of Michigan.
