There is an awesome 6 story octagonal light well from floors 3-8, which ironically you cannot see from the ground floor.

The triple elevator doors were metalwork made in heaven, arguably the most sumptuous elevator doors anywhere in Detroit, sadly long since scrapped.

The lobby Tiffany Chandelier [[one of several) was sold by a previos owner, reputedly for $150,000, and shown here.

This building will be a gem when restored, but sadly some of its' best features are gone.


That is stuff that we and future generations will never see again,as we transform into a disposable society.

I was watching a show on public television about a city that had a architectural museum,which is basically every time they demolish a significant building they save pieces of it for display to show what was.
