AT&T Michigan Headquarters
Windows are grouped in twos divided by brick piers and have bronze spandrel panels below depicting lightning bolts, bells and other symbols related to communication.Wirt C. Rowland, Chief Designer for Smith, Hinchman & Grylls, devised a new plan which resulted in a more modern look without requiring significant alterations of the original building.[2] In subsequent alterations, the weathering steel was painted and a portico added at the Michigan Avenue entrance.When the addition was completed, Young Woman and Her Suitors (Jeune fille et sa suite in French) by sculptor Alexander Calder was installed at the corner of Michigan and Cass Avenues.In 2006, the sculpture was removed for conservation and in October 2007, the communications company donated it to the Detroit Institute of Arts.
