Built on the site of Owosso's first grist mill, "Little Grist Mill",
The Matthews
Building
is Owosso's premier office building complex. It is
named after Judge Roy D. Matthews (Probate Judge in Shiawassee County
from 1926-1960) who built the first structure on the corner of Main and
Water in about 1914. Over the years six additional structures have
been built to comprise the current day Matthews Building Office Complex. Proton Developments purchased the Matthews Building in late 1994 and is dedicated to the improvement of the Matthews Building and Owosso in general. The first major improvement to the building was a new hydraulic elevator put into operation in early 1995. Several other smaller projects are on-going. |
