Here is the old Detroit Building, formerly the Detroit Life Building. It was built in 1923, and was the home to Detroit Life Insurance, hence the word "Life" in the middle. It closed in 1977. (via SkyscraperPage) I see that the Ilitch family bought the building to redevelop it (via January 2006 article on Emporis) Not much has been going on with this building recently, other than some scaffolding around the doorway of the building, which means that someone is working on it. I'd be interested to see how this building would be used in the future.
