Nickels Arcade

Nickels Arcade is a commercial building located at 326-330 South State Street in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

[2] John H. Nickels owned and operated a meat market at this location on State Street.

The entire building, however, was not completed until 1918, due in part to delays caused by the onset of World War I. Nickels owned the Arcade until his death in 1932, when he passed it on to his children, James and Nora.

[3] In July 2015, a University of Michigan student from Saugatuck fell through the glass roof of the arcade to his death.

The principal facade faces onto State Street, and consists of a three-story, three-bay open portico flanked with store/office blocks.
