Old Main Building

Old Main is a an academic building on Wayne State University's campus. This building is a prominent part of the University and is located on Cass Avenue. Old Main was built in 1895 and is of the Classical Revival style. This building was originally built as Detroit's Central High School and served as that until 1926 when it became too crowded. The Central High School then moved to a new location and the building was turned over to Wayne State University (WSU). Old Main is widely seen as the symbol of Wayne State.

I love this building because of the history and character it has. You can tell it is old by the architectural details. I see this building whenever I go visit my brother at Wayne State and love the impact it makes on its surrounding. This building represents some history and beauty in Detroit.
