Built in 1897-1902, this Beaux Arts-style building was designed by John Arthur Scott to serve as the Wayne County Courthouse and seat of the Wayne County government, and features sculptures by artist Edward Wagner. The building is clad in rusticated white granite at the base with berea sandstone above, with arched windows at the first floor, a central entrance bay below a portico with metal screens and cartouches on the headers, side entrances with doric columns, sculptural reliefs, architraves with triglyphs, pediments at the second floor windows, decorative window trim surrounds, corinthian columns and pilasters, a front portico with a pediment featuring a sculptural frieze, corinthian columns, and a stone balustrade, a cornice with dentist and modillions, projected bays at the ends of the principal facade, a recessed fourth floor surrounded by a parapet and balustrade, one-over-one windows, parapets with urns, festoons, cartouches, and obelisks, a large glass skylight on the roof, two copper quadrigas flanking the base of the building’s tower, which is wrapped by a colonnade wrapping a loggia with arched bays, a balustrade at the top of the lower section of the tower with copper statues at the corners, arched bays at the top level of the tower with juliet balconies, a roof atop the tower with copper flashing, and a massive copper finial, which rises to a height of 247 feet above ground level. Inside, the building features decorative woodwork, tile mosaics, stone wall cladding and floors, coffered ceilings, engaged columns and pilasters, grand historic stone staircases, colonnades, vaulted ceilings, and stained glass windows. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The building was rehabilitated in 1987 under the direction of Quinn Evans Architects and Smith, Hinchman and Grylls Associates, and housed the Wayne County Government until 2010, when all Wayne County offices and events were moved to the Guardian Building, which had been purchased by the county in 2007. The building, as of 2023, is vacant.
Built in 1876, this eclectic Queen Anne and Venetian Gothic Revival-style house was designed by Henry T. Brush and George D. Mason for Ransom Gillis, a wholesale dry goods merchant, who lived there until 1880. The building was subsequently sold to several different wealthy families, and later became a boarding house after 1919, and the carriage house became home to Pewbaic Pottery in 1903, later becoming home to an auto repair shop and filling station before being demolished in 1935 and replaced by a restaurant, which was later demolished when the house was stabilized in 2005-2006. The house had a one-story retail shopfront added to the southwest corner in the 1930s as well, which was also removed during the stabilization work. The house became vacant as Detroit rapidly declined in the 1960s during the civil unrest that rocked the city and much of the population migrated to the outer neighborhoods and suburbs. The house thereafter went into steep and steady decline, eventually having the roof and corner turret collapse before it was stabilized in 2005-2006, which involved the City of Detroit restoring the roof and tower, boarding up the windows, and repointing and stabilizing the brick exterior walls. The house features a red brick exterior, corner turret with a conical tower on a column and stone base with several gothic arched windows separated by pillars, bracketed cornices, a hipped slate roof with cresting and a front gable, stone trim, one-over-one windows, decorative brick chimneys, patterned brickwork, a rough-hewn stone base, a gothic arched bay on the front gable with a quatrefoil window, a one-story bay window on the front facade, porches with clustered columns and rosettes, and a simple gabled rear ell. The house is a contributing structure in the Woodward East Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, and was rehabilitated by Nicole Curtis in an episode of the TV show Rehab Addict in 2015, which converted the house into two townhouses, which feature a mix of salvaged historic elements and contemporary flourishes.
Built in 1929, this Art Deco-style skyscraper was designed by Wirt C. Rowland and Smith, Hinchman and Grylls for the Union Trust Company, and was originally known as the Union Trust Building, later being renamed the Guardian Building. The building was one of the first in the world to feature automatic push-button elevators, and Monel metal fixtures, metal elements, and metal fittings. The building housed the Union Trust Company until 1932, when it went into receivership due to unsustainable growth during the 1920s economic boom and the impact of the Great Depression. The building housed various office tenants after the demise of the bank, including the United States Army Command Center for wartime production during World War II, and became the headquarters of Michigan Consolidated Gas Company in 1982, which led to the restoration of the exterior and interior of the building, with the company remaining in the building until it merged with DTE Energy in 2001, after which it was sold to Sterling Group in 2002. The building features a 36-story section that runs parallel to Griswold Street between a 40-story tower at the northern Congress Street end of the building, which rises to 496 feet (151 meters) above the street, with a spire that soars to 632 feet (192 meters), and a 38-story tower at the southern Larned Street end of the building. The extieor is clad in red brick with decorative polychromatic terra cotta trim with geometric motifs, red granite and limestone cladding at the base with large arched windows into the former main banking hall, a recessed main entrance with decorative polychromatic trim on the half-dome ceiling and ziggurat-shaped window bays, a large arched window bay trimmed with polychromatic terra cotta on the Congress Street facade, Monel metal flagpoles with decorative bases, and carved sculptural reliefs of figures on the Griswold Street facade. Inside, the building’s main lobby features a colorful polychromatic tile ceiling with octagonal and rectangular tiles, ziggurat vaults, abstract geometric forms, decorative metal elevator doors, stained glass windows, a tile mosaic behind the front desk with a ziggurat-shaped tree, limestone-clad walls, a barrel vaulted ceiling, a large Monel metal screen at the entrance to the banking hall, red marble trim at the stone stairs, a clock at the entrance to the banking hall, stone steps to the banking hall and the current Wayne County Commission chambers below, stone floors with ziggurat motifs, and decorative pendants at the elevators. The banking hall features a vaulted ceiling with arched openings and decorative polychromatic panels, a large map of the state of Michigan at the south end of the space in a large arched blind bay with symbols of the state’s various industries, stone floors, stone-clad walls, decorative ziggurat motifs on the pillars, walls, and floor, and a large Monel metal screen at the entrance. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1989, and is a contributing structure in the Detroit Financial District Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. In 2007, the building was purchased by the Wayne County Government, and became the home of their offices and chambers in 2010, when they were moved from the Old Wayne County Building nearby. The building today houses the offices and chambers of the Wayne County Government, as well as several other office tenants.

Detroit city, Michigan state, The United States of America U.S.A. country, North America Continent

Established in 1929, the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation was created by Henry Ford as The Edison Institute, a private educational institution, before opening to the public in 1933, initially being owned and operated by the Ford Motor Company. The museum contains exhibits and artifacts that were collected by Henry Ford starting in 1906, when his wealth began to increase substantially due to the success of the Ford Motor Company, with the institutions continuing to collect artifacts and items to this day. The museum is housed in a large structure, designed by Robert O. Derrick, that is quite similar in structure to a warehouse or factory built during the time of construction. Covering approximately 500,000 square feet (50,000 square meters), the building contains a variety of exhibits, mostly focusing on machinery, furnishings, automobiles, and other industrial goods, as well as historic artifacts that represent culturally significant moments in the history of the United States. The museum today is a major tourist attraction within the Detroit Region, and is one of three significant attractions affiliated with the Ford Motor Company in Dearborn, alongside Greenfield Village and the Ford Rouge Complex, all of which are open to tourists and visitors. The museum was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1981.
