Under Construction

These buildings are parts of Detroit Metro building history in the past 40-50 years. These are the Providence Tower Condominiums and the IBM headquarters in Southfield, Michigan. Southfield is an "inner ring" suburb of Detroit. Providence Towers were built in the early-mid 1970s near Providence Hospital, which moved from Detroit in the mid-1960s, and the IBM building was built between 1975 and 1977, so these were taken betwen 1974 and 1976. I posted these pictures on Facebook on a Detroit Architecture group, and I got a good bit of information on both. Providence Towers were supposed to be an exclusive apartment complex with many amenities but got caught up in financial concerns. The IBM headquarters has a unique design about it, and the outer covering was so unique, it was copyrighted! The IBM building at last check was up for sale.
