  • We just stopped in and walked around the first floor to look at the beautiful art deco architecture. Imagine this being your office building!

  • Detroit has many beautiful art deco buildings, the Guardian building being the crown jewel. Take the trip to enter this skyscraper and marvel at the ornate lobby and corridors.

  • A stunning architectural marvel! Truly stunning Aztec deco lobby, and marvelous details hidden throughout. Especially special is the Tiffany clock, one of 4 in the world (the most famous being on Grand Central). A must-see for any visitor.
  • I visited on 2/11/22. The beautiful architecture makes this one of my favorite FREE things to do in Detroit. I'll be honest, when googling "things to do around Detroit" I didn't have this high on my list only because I didn't understand the appeal, but I soon found that pictures don't do it justice! This is a must see if you are in the area, and it is free! There is a coffee shop, a US Bank, and a couple of local owned clothing/accessory stores in this building, along with seating and information about the building itself.
