OK, Detroit architectural & history buffs: what's up with this one side of the building having only a few [[obscurely & randomly) placed windows? IMO, totally ruins the aesthetic of an otherwise beautiful structure.

A common question is why the side of the building facing Campus Martius is nothing but a giant brick wall for 35 stories. The answer lies in its fallen former neighbor, the Cadillac Square Building, which stood next door. When the Cadillac Tower opened, there was no point in having windows looking into another structure’s windows. _From HistoricDetroit.org
Very true. Equally true is that this is also the side of the building where the elevator shafts are located.A common question is why the side of the building facing Campus Martius is nothing but a giant brick wall for 35 stories.
