Cass Building, Office building in Detroit, United States
The Cass Building at 455 West Fort Street features a modern glass curtain wall facade across its five floors of office space.
Constructed in 1910 as a warehouse, the structure underwent substantial renovation in 1972 when architectural firm Smith, Hinchman and Grylls transformed it into their headquarters.
The building represents the International Style architecture through its minimalist design, clean lines, and extensive use of glass and steel materials.
Located near the Fort/Cass Detroit People Mover Station and Cobo Center, the building provides convenient access to public transportation and downtown amenities.
The north and west facades incorporate a specialized framing system where four glass panes connect at corners using x-shaped brackets, creating a floating appearance.
