USA / Michigan / Ann Arbor / Ann Arbor, Michigan
 shopping plaza, NRHP - National Register of Historic Places, Beaux-Arts (architecture)
Glass-covered arcade of shops, with beautiful 1930's Beaux Arts architecture.
The Nickels Arcade, constructed between 1915 and 1918, is unique to Ann Arbor as an example of the small commercial "arcade" or gallery. As such, and because of its excellent physical integrity, this classically detailed structure is an important part of Ann Arbor's architectural history. Nickels Arcade was also an important expansion of commercial development along State Street, adjacent to the University of Michigan Central Campus. The Nickels family has long been associated with Ann Arbor's business history.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
