Building 9 is University Tower at Wayne State.
Building 10 is the veterans hospital (or whatever that is called) at the DMC.

Okay, so my only ones I know are 3 and 9 and even then I'm not confident :-)

Jerome, I think you're talking about St. Josaphiat...the one that lines up with the Ren Cen towers.

I don't think that #3 is St. Josephat's... which has a 3 tower front, the taller middle tower of which is at the front of the nave. In #3 the nave (tall gabled roof area) has no tower at its' front.

LOL at Rjlj.... :-)

OK, now I am going to maybe debunk another one.... I don't think #5 is the SBC (now AT&T) Building at the corner of Michigan & Cass. The entrance doors are on the Michigan Ave. side of the building (where all the windows are), or at the old Bell Building part of the building (farther north along Cass). IIRC, I don't think that there was ever an entrance on the blank sides (Cass or 2nd) of the newer building along Michigan.

And I think Fareastsider may be right. The Dingall VA Hospital has brick facades in red, teal and mustard yellow, none of which are seen in pic #10.
