Buhl Building, Gothic Revival skyscraper in Detroit Financial District, Michigan
The Buhl Building rises 29 stories with a cream-colored terra cotta exterior and features a granite base at the intersection of Griswold and Congress streets.
The building opened on May 1, 1925, replacing the site of Savoyard Creek, which engineers had converted into a sewer system in 1836.
Sculptor Corrado Parducci created decorative elements throughout the building, adding artistic value to this commercial structure in downtown Detroit.
The building serves as headquarters for multiple organizations, including the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation and various law firms.
The upper floors follow a Latin cross design, ensuring all offices receive natural light without requiring inner courtyards.
