Gilbert restores original canopies on First National Building

[Dexlin]

Is this really called an "awning" out of curiosity? Looks like something more substantial with a more architecturally appropriate name. Or, maybe not. Anyway, it's an improvement. But, yeah, I agree, it'd be nice to see the cornice rebuilt. Of all the cornice removals I've seen in Detroit and across the country, really, the chop-job done on the First National has got to be among the very worst.

If it were on a New York apartment building it would be called a marquee. So I assume the same term would work for the First national Building.
