Downtown Buildings from the 1800s
There are still a good number of buildings in downtown Detroit that were
built in the 1800s -- and you'll see most of them on this interesting tour.

Historic Downtown CHURCHES 
This tour includes at least seven churches (outsides only) during two hours.
The architecture is wonderful.  We have lots of information, and photos of the beautiful stained glass windows.  These historic downtown churches serve a variety of ethnic groups and religious denominations.

Old Downtown Detroit HOTELS 
We will see several great old hotels like the Milner, Leland, Fort-Shelby, and
Book-Cadillac.  We'll also discuss the Statler, Tuller, Wolverine and some of the
other old downtown hotels that are now just a memory.  It's a very interesting tour.  You won't be checking in, but you can still check them out.

Downtown Places with PEWABICS
Several buildings in downtown Detroit are greatly enhanced by colorful tiles
 and artwork from Pewabic Pottery (which has been around since 1903),
 including the National Theater, Gem Theater, Guardian Building, Comerica Park, and other downtown landmarks.

PARK AVENUE Walking Tour 
This tour includes some great old buildings like the David Whitney Bldg.,
the Kales, the Blenheim, the Detroit Life Building, and the old Colony Club,
and new hotspots like the Town Pump, Centaur, Cliff Bell's, and the Park Bar.

Downtown PHOTOGRAPHY Tour
Bring along a camera and take your best shot.  We will tour downtown
and take plenty of photos of Detroit's landmark buildings and sculptures.
You will see photos taken by professional photographers, you will probably
end up taking some great photos of your own during this tour.
