This seems to be like a tough building to find information on. Anyone have/know anything? This is the building at the corner of Bagley and Clifford. |

Are you talking about the bastardized Wayne County Road Commission Building? Saw a pic of it before the hideous remodeling that produced that garish blue color... but can't remember where... |

Blue? Hmmmm... It's right in front of "the window" at the old Michigan Theater (Well, sort of. It's on that block at least). There is a picture on the Wikipedia Statler page. There is no article. I can't find anything but that picture. For some strange reason I thought it was apartments.

Yup that's the one. The dark vertical stripes in that b/w pic along the building facades are the windows with what appears to be bright blue ceramic coated metal panels between the floors. |

I didn't notice the changes you mentioned... but I can be selectively unobservant sometimes. I'll have to check it out. |

I recall an atty during my day named Phil Neudeck who was with Wayne County, and I believe he has since passed away. Perhaps the building was named after him(?) |
