My wife worked in the Penobscot for about ten years, before moving to a new building in the suburbs. I love the hall ways and elevators. The detail is fantastic. It's to bad that one of Detroit's best is beyond repair. The Michigan Avenue Train Station was a jewel of the city. I went in there once when it was operational. What a beautiful building. The reason France is so loved is because of it's old buildings. Here in America, we take down the old and put up ugly new buildings that will never be looked at as classics. It's a shame!!! We need to do what ever is possible to save what little we have left. I love the old buildings in Detroit, and these two are classic.

I agree about these two buildings. They are very unique and help give Detroit it's distinctive skyline. Thanks Terry! I agree about these two buildings.

I hope these buildings stick around! They are my favourites in downtown - by far! World Class buildings with unique features. Your website is brilliant. I hope these buildings stick around!
