DETROIT - GUARDIAN BUILDING - Architectural Wonder - Aerial Views
I love architecture and to my surprise I found a lot of it in Detroit. It is hard to imagine that this city that fell on such hard times retains such a rich architectural heritage. Two obvious skyscrapers to start with would be the Guardian Building and the Fisher Building that I will highlight in next week's vlog. Detroit's architecture is recognized as being among the finest in the U.S. with the National Trust for Historic Preservation listing many of Detroit's skyscrapers and buildings as some of America's most endangered landmarks. Detroit has one of the largest surviving collections of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century buildings in the U.S. Meanwhile, the suburbs contain some significant contemporary architecture and several historic estates.
The Guardian Building is a landmark skyscraper in the United States, located at 500 Griswold Street in Downtown Detroit, Michigan, within the Financial District. The Guardian is a class-A office building owned by Wayne County, Michigan and serves as its headquarters. Built in 1928 and finished in 1929, the building was originally called the Union Trust Building[3] and is a bold example of Art Deco architecture, including art moderne designs.[4] At the top of the Guardian Building's spire is a large American Flag, complementing the four smaller flags atop nearby 150 West Jefferson. The building has undergone recent award-winning renovations. It was designated a National Historic Landmark on June 29, 1989,[1] and the associated Detroit Financial District is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Guardian building includes retail and a tourist gift shop.
Guardian Building entrance lobby — with two-story Art Deco entrance screen of Monel metal, and walls and vaulted ceiling decorated with mosaics and Pewabic Pottery and Rookwood Pottery glazed tiles. The Ezra Winter mural, Michigan, can be seen in the middle, through the metal grill. The 1929 Art Deco style Union Trust Building—Guardian Building is located at 500 Griswold Street, Downtown Detroit, Michigan. Designed by Wirt C. Rowland of Smith, Hinchman and Grylls architects, and built by Gorham Co. of Providence, Rhode Island (1928-1929). The building's interior, which gave rise to the building's nickname Cathedral of Finance, has undergone a full restoration (2006). A contributing property in the Detroit Financial Historic District, and on the National Register of Historic Places.
The main frame of the skyscraper rises 36 stories, capped by two asymmetric spires, one extending for four additional stories. The roof height of the building is 496 ft (151 m), the top floor is 489 feet (149 m), and the spire reaches 632 ft (192.6 m). Its nickname, Cathedral of Finance, alludes both to the building's resemblance to a cathedral, with its tower over the main entrance and octagonal apse at the opposite end and to New York City's Woolworth Building, which had earlier been dubbed the Cathedral of Commerce.[4]Native American themes are common inside and outside the building. Wirt C. Rowland, of the Smith, Hinchman & Grylls firm, was the building's architect. The building rises from a granite and stone six story base with two Corrado Parducci created sculptures flanking the Griswold Street entrance. The exterior blends brickwork with tile, limestone, and terra cotta. Rowland's attention to detail was meticulous. He supervised the creation of the colored brick cladding to achieve the desired color for the exterior. Afterward, the brick was marketed by the manufacturer as Union Trust Brick and after 1939, as Guardian brick.[5]Rowland designed furniture for the bank's offices and his attention went as far as designing tableware, linens and waitress uniforms for a restaurant in the building.
The building's three story, vaulted lobby is lavishly decorated with Pewabic and Rookwood tile. The semi-circular exterior domes are filled with Pewabic Pottery; Mary Chase Perry Stratton worked closely with the architect in the design of the symbolic decorations.[6] (See Savage, infra.) A Monel metal screen divides the lobby from the banking hall on the second floor, the screen features a clock in the center designed by Tiffany. The building includes works by muralist Ezra Winter in the mosaic above the main lobby desk and the mural at the end of the banking hall.[7] The large mosaic is of a pine tree and text that states the Union Trust Company's purpose for the building, Founded on principles of faith and understating, this building is erected for the purpose of continuing and maintaining the ideals of financial services which promoted the organization of the institution. The mural highlight’s Michigan’s industries such as manufacturing, farming and mining. In order to dampen the sound in the banking hall, its cement-plaster ceiling features a hand-painted canvas ceiling, which was stretched over a mat of horsehair.

The Cathedral Church of St. Paul, Detroit is the cathedral church of the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan. St. Paul's is located at 4800 Woodward Avenue in Detroit, adjacent to the campus of Wayne State University. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
The current building, designed by renowned church architect Ralph Adams Cram, dates from 1907. It remains unfinished, the bell tower having never been completed. The church is built entirely of limestone, using medieval construction techniques, with no supporting steel superstructure.[2] The building boasts soaring, pointed arches, wide expanses of stained glass, and elaborate tracery, exemplary of Gothic architecture, and includes a large architectural installation of Pewabic Pottery. In 1912 it became the cathedral of the diocese.

SUMMARY

Detroit (, locally also ; French: Détroit, lit. 'strait') is the largest and most populous city in the U.S. state of Michigan, the largest city on the United States–Canada border, and the seat of Wayne County. The municipality of Detroit had a 2017 estimated population of 673,104, making it the 23rd-most populous city in the United States. The metropolitan area, known as Metro Detroit, is home to 4.3 million people, making it the second-largest in the Midwest after the Chicago metropolitan area. Regarded as a major cultural center, Detroit is known for its contributions to music and as a repository for art, architecture and design.
Detroit is a major port located on the Detroit River, one of the four major straits that connect the Great Lakes system to the Saint Lawrence Seaway. The Detroit Metropolitan Airport is among the most important hubs in the United States. The City of Detroit anchors the second-largest regional economy in the Midwest, behind Chicago and ahead of Minneapolis–Saint Paul, and the 13th-largest in the United States. Detroit and its neighboring Canadian city Windsor are connected through a tunnel and the Ambassador Bridge, the busiest international crossing in North America. Detroit is best known as the center of the U.S. automobile industry, and the Big Three auto manufacturers General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler are all headquartered in Metro Detroit.
In 1701, Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac founded Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit, the future city of Detroit. During the 19th century, it became an important industrial hub at the center of the Great Lakes region. With expansion of the auto industry in the early 20th century, the city and its suburbs experienced rapid growth, and by the 1940s, the city had become the fourth-largest in the country. However, due to industrial restructuring, the loss of jobs in the auto industry, and rapid suburbanization, Detroit lost considerable population from the late 20th century to the present. Since reaching a peak of 1.85 million at the 1950 census, Detroit's population has declined by more than 60 percent. In 2013, Detroit became the largest U.S. city to file for bankruptcy, which it successfully exited in December 2014, when the city government regained control of Detroit's finances.Detroit's diverse culture has had both local and international influence, particularly in music, with the city giving rise to the genres of Motown and techno, and playing an important role in the development of jazz, hip-hop, rock, and punk music. The erstwhile rapid growth of Detroit left a globally unique stock of architectural monuments and historic places, and since the 2000s conservation efforts managed to save many architectural pieces and allowed several large-scale revitalizations, including the restoration of several historic theatres and entertainment venues, high-rise renovations, new sports stadiums, and a riverfront revitalization project. More recently, the population of Downtown Detroit, Midtown Detroit, and various other neighborhoods has increased. An increasingly popular tourist destination, Detroit receives 19 million visitors per year. In 2015, Detroit was named a City of Design by UNESCO, the first U.S. city to receive that designation.

What Happen To The Brodhead Armory? Part 2
R. Thornton Brodhead Naval Armory/
Marine Corps Reserve Center/
Detroit Naval Armory
7600 East Jefferson at the northwest boundary of Gabriel Richard Park
Captain Brodhead, in the late 1920s, convinced the Michigan state legislature to build a naval armory along Detroit's waterfront. They appropriated the funds and the attractive, if highly functional, building you see now was completed in 1930. It has elements of both classical and Art Deco stylingwith gray limestone sheathing. The entrance way is quite elaborately decorated with symbols of the various military services engaged in naval activities using Pewabic tiles.
How should artists and crafts people be supported? Our schools are filed with talented people seeking to be creative, but artists fail to become financially successful. Should we depend upon the market place to support the arts and crafts, or depend upon rich patrons? What about the government as a source of support? After 1933, the Roosevelt Administration realized that deficit spending might prime the economic pump, so an elaborate Works Project Administration funded building activities in many cities. That administration also supported a Federal Artist Project to support the creative arts. Captain Brodhead realized that these federal funds would allow for the decoration of the Armory that bears his name. And thus, this building is one of the most unusual and impressive buildings of its type. It reflects the creativity of many Detroit artists who otherwise would have been unemployed.
You will find extensive woodworking, including doors, carvings and fireplace embellishments done by John Tabaczuk. There are several paintings of naval vessels by Edgar Yeager (1883-1969). Elaborate murals were painted in four rooms, including a 60 foot mural with naval themes painted by David Fredenthal. This building has a collection of murals ranking second in Detroit to the Detroit Institute of Arts. There are quite a few plaster wall carving representing nautical themes done by Gustave Hildebrand. This is an unusual example of how federal tax dollars were spent to support the fine arts during the Depression decad
The building was used by the U. S. Navy for training reserve naval and marine units until after 2000. I believe that ownership was subsequently transfered to the City of Detroit but, as of 2012, no firm plans developed to reuse this building. It has a significant history and an architectural appeal. Jean Harlow, the popular movie star of the 1920s, attended the dedication presumably as a guest of one of the Fisher brothers who may have been courting her at the time. Joe Louis, at age 17, fought his first fight in this building in the winter of 1931-1932. He was still involved in the Golden Gloves competition so I presume that he was not paid to figure. A Detroit professional who was four years his senior, Johnny Miler, defeated him soundly in the three round bout. When Franklin Delano Roosevelt brought his campaign for the presidency to Detroit in the fall of 1932, he used this building for a rally.

Vulcan Mine Waste Water Discharges Into Lake
VISIT MY ETSY STORE, SEE WHAT I HAVE FOR SALE:
Since my last video questioning this pipe pouring water in the middle of the woods near Norway, Michigan I was able to obtain this recording of a conversation that has been edited to protect the person who forwarded it to me. This person wanted to share what he learned, but also wishes to stay anonymous. (Under Michigan law, you may record a private conversation as long as one person in the party knows it is being recorded.)
He says the last time this water was tested was back in the 70's when they wanted to use it for the city's water supply but instead drilled their own wells.. He seemed concerned about this pipe now and said he always wondered where it was located, almost as if it was folklore.. What is in the water and why haven't they tested it since the 1970's?
With Norway's plan to make Hanbury Lake a place to fish (people ARE eating the fish now) and a place to bring your kids to swim (in untested mine water).. Just a thought of what people might be concerned about.

SUMMARY
=======
Shedd Aquarium (formally the John G. Shedd Aquarium) is an indoor public aquarium in Chicago, Illinois, in the United States.
