I really like this building:

Was it recently renovated?

DetroitSky · #10 Posted **Feb 14, 2007, 5:49 PM**

^Actually no, and its occupancy rate is pretty low right now. Up the street they're building a new parking garage/condo building, and we're hoping it will help this building get renovated.

Great old buildings.

I missed this thread the first time around. Great shots! I love the varied architectual styles in the Campus Martius area.
