Info
The Buhl Building is a skyscraper and class-A office center in Downtown Detroit, Michigan. Architect Wirt C. Rowland designed the Buhl in a Neo-Gothic style with Romanesque accents. Constructed in 1925, it stands at 26 stories in the Detroit Financial District across Congress Street from the Penobscot Building and across Griswold Street from the Guardian Building, all of which were designed by Wirt C. Rowland. The Buhl Building stands on the corner of Congress St. West, and Griswold St. in Downtown Detroit. The building stands atop what used to be the Savoyard Creek near its confluence with the Detroit River. In 1836, the creek was covered and turned into a sewer. The Savoyard Club occupied the 27th floor of the Buhl Building from 1928 until its membership dwindled and the club closed in 1994. Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation has its headquarters in the building.Hubbell, Roth & Clark, Inc. (HRC) is a Michigan Civil Engineering firm celebrating 100 years in business. HRC's Detroit Office is located on the 16th floor of the Buhl Building.
The Citizen's Bank Building in downtown Saginaw, Michigan was modeled after the Buhl Building.
The architectural sculpture on the building was designed by Corrado Parducci.
