A towering Art Deco structure honoring Detroit's flour king, the David Stott Building stretches 38 stories above Capitol Park at the corner of State and Griswold streets.
The Stott opened on June 17, 1929, on what had been the sites of the Garrick Theatre, Hodges Building and the Whitney Office Building. It was designed by the architectural firm of Donaldson & Meier, though Henry Meier had died more than a decade earlier. The general contractor was the Martin & Krausmann Co.
