J.W. Knapp Company Building

The J.W. Knapp Company Building is a historic five-story, 190,000-square-foot (18,000 m2) Streamline Moderne building in Lansing, Michigan, United States. The building opened in 1939 as the Downtown Lansing location of the J.W. Knapp Company, a local department store chain which was in business until 1980.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, and its interior was remodeled into offices for the State of Michigan, which occupied it until 2003. A subsequent renovation beginning in 2012 converted it to a mixed-use development featuring office space, ground-floor retail space, and apartments.
