The Penobscot Building | Michelle & Chris Gerard
When you think of Detroit architecture, which buildings come to mind? Which are instantly recognizable? Which buildings stand out in the skyline? Which ones do visitors flock to? These might not be your favorite, or the most beautiful (or maybe they are), but they define a city.
Many of these buildings are heavily used (Cobo Center, the RenCen, the Detroit Institute of Arts), while others came back from the brink (Book Cadillac, the Fox Theatre, the Grand Army of the Republic Building), and others are going through a restoration (Michigan Central Station, the Book Tower).
Here are the 20 most iconic buildings in Detroit.
Note: Buildings are listed from west to east.
