Although the Detroit metro area is primarily known as an industrial region, it boasts some of the finest examples of Art Deco in the country. Through a panorama of photographs,Art Deco in Detroit explores the wide-ranging variety of these architectural marvels, from world-famous structures like the Fisher and Penobscot Buildings, to commercial buildings, theaters, homes, and churches.
