The Fisher Building is an Art Deco style building built in 1928 under the ownership of the Fisher brothers. The architects involved with building it are Albert Kahn Associates with Joseph Nathaniel French as the chief architect. It is located in the heart of the New Center area in Detroit and is considered Detroit's largest art object. The whole interior of the building is decked out in marble, mosaics, and frescoes. After it was built the Detroit News stated, "The Fisher Building is to Detroit what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris." The building houses not only offices, but shops, restaurants, banks, services, art galleries, and the Fisher Theatre.
I love this building and think it's one of Detroit's gems. It's definitely something you have to see if you've never been. It so large that it's easy to spot it whenever you go downtown. This building is not only beautiful to see during the day, it's also very beautiful to see at night because the top of it lights up.
