The Detroit Public Library

The Detroit Public Library Main branch was built in 1921 in the Italian Renaissance style by architect Cass Gilbert. In 1963 two wings were added.
The library system is the 4th largest in the country with the main building on Woodward Ave. and 23 branches.
The entrance, lobby and staircases were beautiful. In a second floor meeting room were spectacular stained glass windows. It was a real joy to photograph!
More to come....watch this space.
