1344 Broadway, AKA Phillips or Broadway Exchange Building. It was built 1925-26. First off, anyone know who designed it? It seems so much like Kahn's Vinton and Kresge/Kales Buildings, but came more than a decade after those, and is much smaller. A recent detroitblog.org post which delved into this building did not address it's origins. Apparantly it's owned by an investment group, and is in a neighborhood where loft conversions of buildings this size are moving swift. Any guesses as to how long before this abandoned building gets some attention? Anyone with any actual facts? | ||

This would have been better in the already open thread. https://www.atdetroit.net/forum/mes sages/5/73720.html?1150086143 | ||

Hmm you're right, sorry I missed that. Royce made some good points on that thread about how they need to secure some parking for potential residents. I wonder if all those pervasive leaks that the detroitblog describes effects the Hub on the first floor. I'm still hoping someone knows who designed this. Gistok? Patrick? |
