Film Exchange Building, Art Deco building in Detroit, United States
The Film Exchange Building stands seven stories tall at the corner of Cass Avenue and Montcalm Street, featuring a sculptured entry and marble lobby.
Architect C. Howard Crane designed this structure in 1926 to serve as a central distribution hub for motion pictures across Michigan's Lower Peninsula.
The building contained fireproof vaults, screening rooms, and offices where major film studios like MGM and Warner Brothers managed their regional operations.
Located three blocks west of Comerica Park, the 84,000-square-foot structure underwent exterior renovations, including a new roof in 2000 and white paint in 2009.
The building's specialized film vaults and inspection rooms allowed staff to examine every reel before distribution to over 600 theaters in the region.
