376 W. Main St. - Saranac Flats - Benton Harbor, MI

376 Saranac Flats

The Saranac building has been a part of Benton Harbor’s Main Street landscape for nearly a century. It was originally constructed in the early 1920’s by the Saranac Machine Company to house the company’s operations of design and construction of high-grade agricultural packing machinery.

This building has undergone a complete renovation to restore it to its original beauty as Saranac Flats.  Extensive masonry work, a new roof, as well as a complete rebuild of the front exterior wall are a few components of this historic restoration.   An addition has also been built on the south end of the building to create a private entrance for the residential tenants.  Great care was taken to preserve the unique historical elements such as the limestone block bearing the “Saranac” name located above the Main Street entrance.  True divided light windows were also used to replicate the building’s original appearance.  

This dramatic transformation created 9,300 square feet of retail and commercial space on the first floor. The second floor has eight loft-style apartments that became available for rent in February 2014.
