From my apartment at the Pavilion I can see lights on in what appear to be loft apartments on the back side. |

Back in the early 90's there was a photographer that did some work for me that had a studio in the building. Also, the clothing line Made In Detroit started in the building. |

Atlas Furniture had the wackiest TV commercials (1965-68); the voiceover was awesome. |

ModelD was very fortuitous to capture the one Gannon quote that they could actually keep to a line or two... |

My aunt lived there through the late 80s till about 2003. Great building very drafty though. (side note)8 mile had a scene filmed in the back alley pissed alot of the tenants off. |
