Harmonie Centre, Beaux-Arts commercial building in Downtown Detroit, United States.
The eight-story Harmonie Centre features terra cotta elements and classical architectural details across its symmetrical facade at 1308 Broadway Street.
Built in 1906 for John Breitmeyer Sons Florists, the building later became one of the first downtown structures to offer office space to African American professionals.
The Harmonie Centre housed important organizations including the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, contributing to Detroit's civil rights movement.
Located at the intersection of Broadway and Gratiot, the building connects the Grand Circus area with Greektown through its ground-floor commercial spaces.
The structure's original owner, Philip Breitmeyer, served as Detroit's mayor from 1909 to 1911 while operating his family's leading florist business.
