Architecture buffs are sure to find great delight in the details of the beautiful Guardian Building in Downtown Detroit. The art-deco masterpiece opened in 1929 and includes a slew of high-end features including Pewabic tiles, marble, murals and even a Tiffany clock¹.

Tours are conducted Monday through Friday from 10am to 2pm and are given by Christopher Roddy, the dapper concierge who was featured in the Chrysler 200 Superbowl commercial featuring Eminem.
