A Photographic tribute to 160 years of Great Architecture
Detroit Public Library will host a photographic display of American City, Detroit Architecture 1845 - 2005. Running October 10, 2008 through January 17, 2009, in Adam Strohm Hall at the Detroit Public Library, Main Library. 5201 Woodward Avenue, north of Warren, in Midtown Detroit. Open to the public, no charge for admission.
Detroit's public buildings-its museums, libraries, schools and monuments -are second to none in terms of their overall scale, materials and detailing. Overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of the buildings they encountered on a 2003 visit to downtown Detroit, photographer William Zbaren and writer Robert Sheroff were moved to create "American City: Detroit Architecture 1845-2005," a tribute to one of the country's most Magnificent cities.
There are 81 photographs in the show depicting such landmarks as Fort Wayne, Wayne County Building, Michigan Central Railroad Station, Orchestra Hall, Detroit Public Library, General Motors Building, Detroit Institute of Arts, Fox Theater, Penobscot Building, Guardian Building, Fisher Building, McGregor Memorial Conference Center, Lafayette Park, Renaissance Center, Detroit Receiving Hospital, Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Compuware Building and Cass Technical High School.
