Decorative touches
As I was going around town this past week, I realized how many so-called "Hidden" touches are on some older buildings. I spotted these two gems on the Music Hall and on the old Detroit Free Press Building. It's amazing how the architects of these buildings incorporated design, functionality, and some interesting pieces of art into the buildings that they designed and built, especially in the 19th and early 20th Century. I especially like the man on the side of the Free Press building and the two heads next to him. They kind of remind me of downspouts in a way, but they're just decorative.
