The main panel of the magnificent ceiling of the Franciscan Church of St. Francis of Assisi, in Valletta, Malta. The church was completed in 1607, but rebuilt in 1681, by order of Grand Master Gregorio Carafa, after structural defects were discovered.

The Guardian Building in downtown Detroit was originally built in 1927 to be the flagship branch of the Union Trust Company. Architect Wirt C. Rowland of Smith Hinchman & Grylls conveyed the opulence of Detroit's financial sector in the early 20s with stunning art deco details inside and out. It is still home to the same architecture firm, now called Smith Group.

The restored Detroit Opera House AKA Grand Circus Theater, and Capitol Theatre.
Designed by C.Howard Crane in Italian Renaissance style, opened in 1922. Seating 3,500, it was the 5th largest theater to open at that time.
After 1989, it had a 20 million dollar restoration.
It was built to show movies but C.Howard Crane forgot to add in the projection booth! It has one now up in a ceiling cove.
