205. Free Press Building.
- Description:
- View of the Detroit Free Press building designed by architect, Albert Kahn located on Lafayette Boulevard in Detroit, Michigan. "In 1923 Kahn built a new headquarters for the Detroit Free Press ... since rental space was included in the building, it was of necessity larger than the News building, hence steel construction was preferable to the bulkier reinforced concrete, but the same use of monumental limestone on the exterior was continued, a new element may be noted, however, in the massing of the building in a central thirteen-story tower with lower six-story wings," from "The Buildings of Detroit: A History," by W. Hawkins Ferry.

- Description:
- Exterior view of the upper floors of the National Bank building on Woodward Avenue at Cadillac Square in Detroit, Michigan designed by architect, Albert Kahn. "This simple grid-like treatment of the stone veneer covering the steel frame recalls his Generals Motors Building, although here the emphasis of the details is classical rather than Renaissance, the Corinthian pillars between the large windows of the banking rooms on the second floor were patterned as nearly as possible after the columns of the Temple of Castor and Pollux in the Roman Forum," from "The Buildings of Detroit: A History," by W. Hawkins Ferry.

- Description:
- Bird's-eye view of the Detroit Athletic Club on Madison Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, designed by architect, Albert Kahn. "For the citadel of Detroit's automobile aristocracy Kahn turned to Renaissance Rome for inspiration, the Palazzo Borghese provided him with a model for the portico of the D.A.C. and the arcaded loggia with its delicate Corinthian pilasters in the courtyard of the Palazzo Farnese gave him an idea as to how to treat the large windows of the main dining room on the fourth floor, for the interior he provided handsome carved stone mantels and fine coffered ceilings," from "The Buildings of Detroit: A History," by W. Hawkins Ferry.
