The Guardian Building Detroit

Standing as one of the world's finest examples of Art Deco, Detroit's Guardian Building is a mecca for fans from all over the world. The Guardian was commissioned and built in 1928 - 1929 by the Union Trust Company and designed the by the firm of Smith, Hinchman & Grylls. It's one of my favorite places to take visiting friends. Here's some photos from a recent visit:
