Fisher Building
A 1928 Art Deco building whose three-story arcade is covered with murals, mosaics, and marble, known as “Detroit’s greatest work of art.”
The Fisher Building was funded by the seven Fisher brothers of the Fisher Body Company and designed by Albert Kahn. It stands about 135 m tall, with granite and marble facades and a golden roof that lights up at night. The highlight is the three-story arcade lobby, whose ceiling was painted with murals by Hungarian painter Géza Maróti, and which features more than 40 types of marble. The lobby is free to visit, and paid architecture tours are offered on weekends. The Fisher Theatre inside hosts Broadway tours. It is in New Center and can be reached by QLine streetcar or by car.
