Kresge Headquarters

While attending the Veterans Day festival in Cass Park in Detroit last month, I ventured over to this building, which held the Metropolitan Center for High Technology and now holds startup companies. . It was built in 1962 for Sebastian Spering (SS) Kresge and his chain of Kresge's department stores/Five and Dime stores, which later became K-Mart. These were their main offices. It became the home of the Metropolitan Center for High Technology, and as of 2018, the building is owned by Wayne State University. Check out this blog entry from Detroit D'Votion, who took a tour of the building in 2012, and looks at the fantastic interior.
