The Seven Wonders of Detroit
"Completed in 1929; built by Wirt C. Rowland for Smith, Hinchman & GryllsOf all the early-20th-century skyscrapers still standing in Detroit, the 40-story Guardian Building is the (near) universal favorite. The building itself, a National Historic Landmark also known as the "Cathedral of Finance," is all the attraction you need -- the Art Deco-meets-Mayan Revival style features orange brickwork with tile, limestone, and terra cotta on the exterior, while the interior is a multi-color mosaic of Pewabic and Rookwood tile with Native American themes that, honestly, feel a little better suited for the Southwest than the Midwest, making the Guardian all the more distinct from the other skyscrapers of its time. Stone carvings by Corrado Parducci depicting the allegorical figures of "Safety" and "Security" flank the Griswold St. entrance of the building."

"Campus Martius Park (Latin for “field of Mars”) lies in downtown Detroit. In 1805, following the fire that nearly destroyed the city, the park became the focal point for rebuilding the city. It’s a great place to hang out and comprises two performance stages, monumental sculptures, public spaces and a seasonal ice-skating rink."

"This 1928 masterpiece from the man who built Detroit, Albert Kahn, has an imposing art deco exterior made from Minnesota granite and Maryland marble, and an interior to rival any Italian cathedral. From the soaring vaulted ceilings, featuring an array of intricate, hand-painted patterns, to the sparkling mosaics by Hungarian artist Géza Maróti and gleaming marble on the walls, the visual inspiration here is endless."
