This picture (showing the 24th to the 40th floors) begins a series of the iconic Guardian Building in downtown Detroit, Michigan. It was built during the heyday of Detroit, completed in early 1929. Unfortunately, a world-wide economic disaster, the "Great Depression" began at the end of 1929.
The Guardian Building was a standout, built of an orange brick, with ornamental tile highlights amid a sea of gray limestone and marble skyscrapers. It was topped with a crown of lights that was spectacular at night. Its interior, in Aztec-Art Deco, that was so exceptionally striking, will be shown in upcoming pictures.
