Description
- Architect: Albert Kahn & Associates

- In 1968, Motown Music bought the buildings as their headquarters, though it was never fully used by them. At the time, Motown Music was the world's largest black-owned and operated corporation. Just four years later, Motown Music was moved to Los Angeles, but they own the building to this day.

- The building was destroyed in early January of 2006 to make way for a surface parking lot for the National Football League's Super Bowl.

- The building was joined with the directly adjacent building in 1968, and became the "Motown Center."
