context_page_description: The New Amsterdam Historic District is a historic district located in Detroit, Michigan. Buildings in this district are on or near three sequential east-west streets on the two blocks between Woodward Avenue and Second Avenue. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
context_section_description: The Caille Brothers Building was built in several stages between 1900 and 1930.
  The Caille Brothers Company began manufacturing in Detroit in 1895, when A. Arthur Caille, inventor of the penny slot machine, moved his business to Detroit from Saginaw. Caille ran the company along with his brother Adolf. The brothers built the company to become one of the largest penny slot makers in the world, employing over 400 people in 1912. Later they expanded their product line to include other items such as marine motors, scales, and the conveyor belts used in grocery stores.
  The building was later known as the Century Floral Building.
  Jonna Construction purchased this property and redeveloped the building into lofts. The property plan, known as the "Lofts at New Amsterdam, Phase II," calls for 62 loft units in the building. Phase I of the development, now completed, was in the Graphic Arts Building at 41-47 Burroughs.
