About This File

The Olde Building was built in 1927. It is designed by Albert Kahn, with sculptural work by Corrado Parducci. The building sits across the street from the famous Lafayette and American Coney Islands, on the corner of Griswold Street and Lafayette Boulevard, in Detroit, Michigan. Its address is 751 Griswold Street.

 

It once housed headquarters for Olde, which was bought by H&R Block, who then had offices in the building. Recently, H&R Block moved to the nearby Dime Building, and The Olde Building is currently being marketed as retail on the first two floors, and lofts above.

 

This month, a member of the Detroit online community, Jeff Colby, died. While I didn't know him in real life, and I didn't know him very well online, he was very helpful on the forums when I asked for help on Barry Sanders Project buildings. He's provided reference photos and histories for many of my Barry Sanders Project buildings.

 

Please read the readme for more information.

very nice 1x1. Interesting one for furter developped town/cities. Only minus is the nightlighting, but what the heck I never play nights.

Nice building! The night lights look a little plain, but they do blend with the ones of the Maxis buildings. 10/10

Gorgeous J! That's a lot of work packed into one little lot. So many CO$$$ out there though... perhaps $$ would've been more beneficial.

Ah yes, the hubristic lavishness that only Ionic pillars and Italian sculptures can bring. Not much to say about this one...really, there isn't much to criticise. Wouldn't want to burden you with compliments eh? I like the attention to detail, and at this size it will be an excellent filler for a small space. And what an appropriate tribute to Mr. Colby hm? Great job and I'm sorry to hear about your loss.
