Built in 1928, the Fisher Building has been nicknamed "Detroit's largest art object". Sitting on the corner of West Grand Boulevard and Second Street in Detroit, Michigan, the Art Deco skyscraper lies in the heart of the New Center area of Detroit. The 28-story office building was designed by Albert Kahn to house the car body business of the Fisher Brothers (Frederick, Charles, William, Lawrence, Edward, Alfred, Howard), and it is widely considered his greatest achievement.
Ted also writes a lot more that's well worth a read – check it out! (and go PISTONS!)


I bopped over to the Library of Congress and found a few shots from in and around the Fisher Building that may be of interest. This one of traffic around the building from 1942 was my favorite. Click for more
