The Dime Building stands at 719 Griswold Street, just down the street from the Penobscot Building, in downtown Detroit, Michigan. The high-rise stands 23 stories tall, with eight elevators. It was constructed in 1912 and finished in 1913. It is used as an office building, restaurant, and has retail space. The tower was built using the Neo-classical architectural style, incorporating a great deal of limestone into its materials, and was designed by Daniel Burnham. [1]
[edit] History
In 2002, a $40-million renovation was completed. The tower has had several name changes. The tower was just renamed The Dime Building in 2002. When completed in 1913 the tower was home to the Dime Savings Bank.
