- Description:
- View of the stage area and part of the audience at Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor, Michigan, designed by architect, Albert Kahn and opened in 1913, the building underwent renovations in 2003. "His {Kahn] experiences at Bologna proved invaluable when designing the brickwork of the Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor, a rich veneer of brick and tile provided a contrasting frame for the monumental stone colonnade of the entrance facade, here classical formality prevailed, but not without a considerable freedom in the handling of the details ... on the interior a parabolic plan with the speaker's stand at the focal point assured the maximum in acoustical advantages," from "The Buildings of Detroit: A History," by W. Hawkins Ferry.

- Description:
- Exterior view 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.
