    There is still a building in that area that is called the Cadillac Square Building and has suspiciously similar architectural elements to the historic photos above in this thread. I think maybe only the shorter 5 story building looks to have come down. Look at this modern photo of whatever they are now calling Cadillac Square Building and compare the mechanicals housing box on top of the tower to the original. Also note the shorter spires that look like they were retained in a remuddling. There is a detail about 1/6 down from the top that also looks similar to the original.
