Detroit Savings Bank facade
Here's the facade of the old Detroit Savings Bank, which is now part of Comerica Bank. According to the Funding Universe page about Comerica Bank, the Detroit Savings Bank was incorporated in 1871, and became the Detroit Bank in 1936. Nineteen years later, in 1955, Detroit Bank became Detroit Bank and Trust,which is what many Detroiters remember it as. In 1973, Detroit Bank and Trust was held by a corporation called DetroitBank, which became Comerica Bank in 1982. The Posters and signs near this doorway are from when the United Way occupied the building around the corner on Griswold. This door is on the State street side near Capitol Park. I like the arched window above the door here.
