Detroit Cornice and Slate Company Building
Detroit Cornice and Slate Company Building, Beaux-Arts industrial building in Downtown Detroit, United States.
The three-story Detroit Cornice and Slate Company Building at 733 St. Antoine Street features ornate galvanized steel decorations across each level of its facade.
Frank Hesse and James Creswell established the Detroit Cornice and Slate Company in 1888, commissioning architect Harry J. Rill to design this building in 1897.
The building demonstrates the industrial craftsmanship of late 19th-century Detroit through its metal facade, which replicates traditional stone architectural elements.
The first floor houses Floods Bar & Grill, while Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan occupies the upper floors for office space.
The building's facade consists entirely of precisely crafted galvanized steel elements, including garlands and decorative patterns manufactured by the original company.
