Cadillac Tower, Gothic Revival skyscraper in Downtown Detroit, United States.
The Cadillac Tower stands 176 meters tall with its white terra cotta exterior and decorative cornices adorning the architectural structure in Downtown Detroit.
Built in 1927 as the Barlum Tower, this 40-story structure marked a significant milestone as the first building outside New York and Chicago to reach such heights.
The building displays the architectural transition of Detroit during the 1920s through its Gothic Revival style and prominent position near Cadillac Square.
The structure houses radio stations WMXD and WLLZ, along with television station WLPC-CD, utilizing the guyed mast installed at its summit.
The tower features an unusual blank brick wall facing Campus Martius, designed due to its proximity to the former Cadillac Square Building.
