And now we bring to you, Detroit's annual Freedom Festival Fireworks show, presented from the David Broderick Tower.
Tree-lined Woodward Avenue passes through the entertainment district before it becomes all business.
The tall buildings from left to right: One Detroit Center, Detroit's tallest office building; David Broderick Tower, recently renovated, its luxury apartments rapidly sold out; 1001 Woodward has its back to the camera; the Guardian Building with its 140 foot flagpole; and behind the "FOX" sign, the David Stott Building to the left and Penobscot Building to the right.
Just right of center is the Foxtown entertainment district, which includes the Fox Theater and Hockyetown Cafe. Between the FOX and 1001, is the Lower Woodward Historic District and its two blocks of retail and loft buildings which comprise Merchants Row.

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.
Broderick–Terry duel happened adjacent to Lake Merced was fought between United States Senator David C. Broderick, of California, and ex-Chief Justice David S. Terry, of the Supreme Court of California, on September 13, 1859.
The two men had been friends and political allies, however Broderick was an abolitionist, whereas Terry was pro - slavery.
Intense political disagreements led to bitter resentments, which in turn led to a challenge to a duel and the fatal encounter.
The chosen weapons were two #Belgian .58 #caliber #pistols .
#Broderick was #unfamiliar with this type of #gun #mechanism, while #Terry, in contrast, spent the previous days #practicing with this #gun

This building was constructed in 1928 and designed by the father-and-son team of Louis and Paul Kamper. It overlooks Grand Circus Park. After being in decline for many years, the Broderick Tower is being renovated as an apartment building.

The Broderick Building, currently undergoing renovations, shows off it's new windows. Originally built in 1928 it is, along with several other prominant Detroit buildings such as the Michigan Central Train Station, a combination of 2 architectural styles are beautiful together but at the same time being attention to the fact that they are 2 contrasting styles. The Beaux-Arts top floors of the building differ greatly from the rest of the building, as though a fancy hat were placed on a more common outfit. Upon it's completion it was the 2nd tallest building in the entire state. Also known as the Eaton Tower thoughout it's life, The David Broderick Building should be unveiling it's new interior to the public next year.
