Very beautiful building with amazing architecture. The design is so unique. Definitely a must visit from Detroit. There's a coffee place, and you can seat around and stay watching for a long time.
Ps. Also has public restrooms, which sometimes are hard to find.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dec 23, 20241 check-in
Beautiful Detroit Classic!
I came for the gift shop, but left with a few souvenirs and and impression that will last a lost time.
The craftsmanship! Just look around, all the small details that create the larger than life larger picture. Specifically the ceiling! be sure to look up. This place is so beautiful. So beautiful, I saw a photo shoot occur while visiting for footwear.
I would highly suggest stopping by for a quick glance at this architecture. it costs you nothing but time. (Also- the tour shop inside has some cute souvenirs.)Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 3Oh no 0 - Nov 6, 2024
This is a building with a stunningly beautiful ground level entry hall. The architecture is remarkable and memorable. You do not have to be an architectural afficionado to appreciate this wonderful structure. If you happen to be in the area, take a couple of minutes to step inside to appreciate it.

Beautiful art deco building. It is definitely one of a kind. They have beautiful murals and stained glass. It's a must do tourist spot and not crowded at the time we went there on a weekend. It has event space available as well

Looking for that amazing art deco design then this building is the one you all need to see in down town Detroit. During our visit there were no tours to the top but if it's anything like the lobby and Bank entrance it must be amazing.

This is an amazing building circa 1928 that's still gracefully intact. Amazing architecture style outside. Inside the main hall is a beautiful full length wall painted mural including the demographic map areas of Michigan. On each lower side of the mural you'll see painted depictions of the agricultural and industrial aspects of what Michigan was built from.
The entry atrium has amazing perfectly matched geometric colorful patterns. A must see building done in art deco; beautiful inside and out!Helpful 4Thanks 2Love this 4Oh no 0 - Nov 16, 2023
As a big fan of Art Deco this was a quick but memorable visit. The architecture is incredible, I have never seen anything quite like the interior. It really is a living work of art that gives a nod to Detroit's illustrious past. There are a few store inside as well as a bank, the staff were surprisingly friendly. I am glad we stopped in to marvel at this beauty of a building.

Beautiful building, inside and out. But definitely go inside and take some photos. The inner aesthetic and decor is something from a different era.
