adamjcook,

The Dime Building light well in Downtown .

The Dime Building (also known as the Chrysler House) is one of Detroit’s oldest skyscrapers.

23 floors. Completed in 1912.

@adamjcook Beautiful — not only image, but also it’s good to be reminded of what my hometown hung onto through some very raw and intense decades.
Was the financial district ever finally designated an historic district?

adamjcook,

@LK_Sass Thanks!

Not sure about the historic district designation as far as the City of is concerned... I had assumed it already was (but I have only been in Detroit for about a year so I am still playing catch up 😅).

@adamjcook It’s an amazing city. Great comeback story (still with a ways to go, but don’t we all…). Lots of crazy history in those places!

@adamjcook Love your photo! Wonderful perspective.

Have you eaten at Dime Store?

adamjcook,

@redcrew No. Not yet!

But my wife really likes their Vegan Benny and so I go over there often to pick one up. 😄

scottspeaking,

@adamjcook @redcrew Just looked at the menu for Dime Store restaurant in . Looks good but costs more than dimes. I will have to give it a try and visit the building

adamjcook,

Some more history (and old postcards and historic drawings/photographs) can be found on Historic Detroit’s website here: https://historicdetroit.org/buildings/dime-building
