Guardian Building

The Guardian Building, nicknamed the Cathedral of Finance, is a large skyscraper in Detroit.  It was built in 1928, by the Union Trust Company and serves as the Headquarters for Wayne County.  This building has forty floors and leases rooms out for events to accommodate for big crowds.  Besides offices and auditoriums, this building also has retail shops in its lobby and a bank of america.

Walking in to this building you first notice the large three-story vaulted ceiling made up of Pewabic tile.  If that doesn't capture your attention then one of the next things you would see is a large mosaic located in between the elevators.  This is so beautiful and intricate that you can't help but admire their talent.  The elevator lobbies display stained glass works of art, as well as it's ceiling.  This helped to give the building the "cathedral" part of it's nickname.  These are just a couple of the elaborate designs you would see if you toured the Guardian Building.
