The Dinner Atmosphere at 220 Merrill in Birmingham, MI: Historic Setting Meets Modern Sophistication
220 Merrill is located in the historic Edison Building. Constructed in 1932, the location served as a landmark for The Detroit Edison Company until the 70s, when economic shifts prompted them to sell the building. In 1979, the 220 Merrill Street Restaurant opened in the venue. Since then, the restaurant and building have changed hands. Renovations in 1994 and 2014 updated the venue, creating an elegant environment, while retaining the building’s historic charm.
