It's about time they decided to light up the Guardian Building at night! Downtown is way too dark at night. It shouldn't be, given all the great skyscrapers. Now if they could just do something about Comerica Tower....

That's great news for the Gaurdian.

Didn't realize the same person designed that and the Penobscott and Buhl.

Yep. Wirt Rowland is the forgotten architect.

There is an exhibit about him going on right now. I've heard that it's very good, but I haven't gotten down there to see it yet.

He designed:

Buhl Building

Guardian Building

Jefferson Avenue Presbyterian Church

Louis Marie School

Penobscot Building

and also Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor.
