Detroit Free Press Building, Art Deco office building in Detroit, United States.
The Detroit Free Press Building stands 14 stories tall with limestone facades and features geometric decorative elements across its exterior surfaces.
Albert Kahn designed this 302,400-square-foot structure in 1925 to serve as the headquarters for Detroit's primary newspaper until 1998.
Limestone carvings by sculptor Ulysses Ricci include representations of Commerce and Communication goddesses, along with figures of Benjamin Franklin.
The building contains eight elevators and has been converted into residential apartments with retail spaces on the ground floor.
A third-floor walkway connected the newspaper offices directly to the Detroit Club, though most employees could not access this members-only establishment.
