Guardian Building
Admission includedStep inside 500 Griswold Street and you are immediately surrounded by one of the most ornate interiors in American architecture. The Guardian Building rises above downtown Detroit with a terra-cotta exterior streaked in amber and burnt orange, visible from blocks away. Inside, the Guardian Building rewards every upward glance with intricate Pewabic tile mosaics, a vaulted ceiling that stretches stories overhead, and corridors lined in rich Numidian marble. Few buildings anywhere in the country match its craftsmanship.
