Join art/architectural historian Deborah Lubera Kawsky for a visual tour of Detroit's urbanistic and architectural history, from its beginnings as a frontier metropolis through its heyday in the midcentury period to its recent revival. 

Discussion will focus on historic structures like the Basilica of St. Anne, Michigan Central Station, the Guardian Building, Hudson's, and the Renaissance Center as exemplars both of the city's historic past and of its bright future. 

No registration required for this free program at the Alexander Blue House, sponsored by the Livonia Historical Commission.
