Detroit Free Press Building
The Detroit Free Press Building, now known as The Press/321, is a fourteen-story office building clad in Indiana limestone occupying half a city block in Downtown Detroit. The building, designed by Albert Kahn, served as a newspaper headquarters with offices and printing plant consolidated into one building. Upper floors were leased to office tenants. The building vacated before 2000 and stood empty for nearly two decades.
Starting in late 2016, KDG served as historic consultant and architect of record for core and shell restoration and alterations. The scope included replacement of all building systems, reconfiguration of the elevators and restoration of the facades. The historic building lobby and its notable barrel-vaulted plaster ceiling was restored as well as historic corridors on each floor.
