Notes
Survey number HAER MI-24-B
Significance: Albert Kahn designed this building, which was completed in 1933. The first floor served as a show room for the Chrysler, Plymouth, and DeSoto lines from 1933 until the early 1960s, when Chrysler converted the space into offices. The second floor was a general sales office for most of the life of the building. This is an excellent example of the art moderne style.
