This picture is of the original and part of the current addition of the AT&T building. The original building was built in the 1920s, and an addition was built in the 1970s. This was built under what was then Michigan Bell, in the Bell System. A lot of people used to (and some still do) call it "Ma Bell". This building was built in 1912, and an addition to it was built in 1927, according to the Wikipedia page of the building. This building is currently located near the Rosa Parks Transit Center downtown, which services the DOT, Smart Buses, Transit Windsor, and the Megabus discount bus line. Before the bus terminal was built, there was a park dedicated to a vice president of the Phone Company, who passed in the Mid 1990s. This building is architectually interesting. The style on this building reminds me of some of a building on the M-10 Service drive south of W. Grand Blvd. that was built probably between 1900-1940.
