Art deco in Detroit.
Despite its industrial reputation, Detroit features many fine examples of the 1920s architectural style of Art Deco or "The Modern Style." Savage, a member of the Detroit Area Art Deco Society, and Kowalski, a local journalist/historian, have compiled photographs of, and comment on, exceptional structures including skyscrapers (e.g., the famous Fisher Building), homes, theaters, and churches. They conclude with lessons for preservation. Lacks references. (Annotation ©2006 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
