The main focus of the shot is the David Broderick Tower. It is flanked by two other Detroit classics...The Wurlizter and The Metropolitan. I shot this in the alley going from one adventure to another. The Broderick Tower was completed in 1928 and at the time, was the second tallest building in all of Michigan. It rises to 35 stories above ground and has two basement levels. It was built is the Neo-Classical style of architecture and also Chicago school and Beaux-Arts. It's main structural design is made of limestone and was designed by Louis and Paul Kamper for Theodore Eaton. David Broderick bought the building in 1945 and held ownership until his death in 1957. From information that I researched, this grand building is supposed to be renovated by 2012, at least one Detroit landmark saved.
