Historic Building
The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago Detroit Branch Building is a bank building located at 160 W. Fort Street in Detroit, Michigan. The building was constructed in 1927 in a Classical Revival style. In 1951, an eight-story glass-and-marble annex, designed by Minoru Yamasaki, was added to the building. The Modern annex is clearly designed not to mimic the original building, but to make a statement all its own. In 2004, the Federal Reserve Bank moved to a new building on Warren Avenue, leaving the building on Fort empty. A developer purchased the building with the intention of creating loft space.
