| The Guardian Building documents the booming, modern city Detroit had become in the 1920s. Architect Wirt Rowland created a striking addition to the rising Detroit skyline. He covered the narrow, rectangular building with orange-tan brick, a color soon called "Guardian" after the company that in 1930 developed out of Union Trust. Along the lower floors ran bands of pink granite, buff Mankato stone, and green, tan, and red-brown glazed tile and terra-cotta. |
