The Guardian Building 1929–1999 — Commemorative Framed Poster, Detroit

A large framed commemorative poster marking the 70th anniversary of the Guardian Building — 1929 to 1999. The central image is an aerial photograph of the building looking north toward the Detroit River and Renaissance Center, the American flag flying from the roof. Surrounding the main image are detail photographs of the building's Art Deco interior: the vaulted lobby ceiling, the Pewabic tile work, the ornamental ironwork, and the exterior terra cotta. The border is printed in the building's signature Art Deco geometric pattern in blue, orange, and gold. Framed in natural oak.

The Guardian Building opened in 1929 as the Union Trust Building — designed by Wirt Rowland of Smith, Hinchman & Grylls and completed just months before the stock market crash. It is considered one of the finest examples of Art Deco architecture in the United States, and one of the most significant buildings in Detroit's history. This poster was produced to mark its 70th year.

One available. Condition: good. Frame: natural oak, intact. Poster: clean, no visible damage.
