Inside the gleaming, palatial halls of the iconic Fisher Building, known as "Detroit's Largest Art Object". I highly recommend signing up for one of the acclaimed Pure Detroit Fisher Building tours (12 & 2 PM on Saturdays), led by my good friend (and fellow local historian), @jacobmjones_. You won't be disappointed. #Detroit #NewCenter #ArtDeco #Modernism #CorradoParducci #GezaMaroti #AnthonyDiLorenzo #UlyssesRicci #AlbertKahn #JosephNathanielFrench #WestGrandBoulevard #archi_ologie #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter #NationalHistoricLandmark #WorldArtDecoMonth (at Fisher Building) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcJr-S1LD3M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ss. Peter & Paul is proof that many of any great city's great church buildings aren't necessarily found on the main avenues, but in working-class neighborhoods where most people live. #Detroit #Westside #NorthwestDetroit #WarrendaleDetroit #Modernism #EcclesiasticalArchitecture #DonaldsonandMeier #CorradoParducci #archi_ologie #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter (at Ss.

This past Sunday, I saw a screening of "Parducci: The Man Who Made Detroit Beautiful", the excellent documentary about the life and works of Corrado Parducci, one of the country's foremost architectural sculptors. Parducci is responsible for 600+ commissions from coast to coast, half of those in the Detroit area. The film was shown inside the Scottish Rite Cathedral Theatre, located within Detroit's monolithic Masonic Temple, the largest in the world. The towering structure features some of Parducci's greatest work. But before that, I was able to get some shots of the lavish lobbies, including the Scottish Rite lobby, located just outside the namesake theatre. #Detroit #CassCorridor #CassPark #MidtownDetroit #GothicRevival #NeoGothic #Masonic #GeorgeDMason #CorradoParducci #archi_ologie #InteriorThursdays #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter (at Masonic Temple)
