Noticed Grunwell Cashero pulling cornice off this building at Cass and York. The building appears to be vacant, and has been for some time. It has WSU all over it, so this is me assuming that it's owned by WSU.
Anyone know what the deal is?
WSU is replacing the roof.
Nothing exciting... oh wait - wrong roof building [[my bad) =)

Wrong building... PCM is talking about a building on Cass north of I-94. The former Maccabees Building is 15 stories tall and getting a new roof.Quote:

I recall that this was once Cadillac's office building.... the car company, not the man! WSU at one time had WDET, Public Safety, and the College of Lifelong Learning in this building.
The building has Cadillac logos engraved into the stone.Quote:

I'm surprised to hear that it's empty, but it's nice to see work being done on it to maintain it. I wonder what WSU's future plans are for it.
That building is part of TechTown, I believe, which is a small business incubator.
The old Dalgliesh Cadillac dealership across Cass is slated to become a new biomedical research building.
