BuildingsOfDetroit.COM > Places > Cadillac Square Building Cadillac Square Building 1 Cadillac Square, Detroit  Status: Demolished AKA: Real Estate Exchange Building Style(s): Gothic Architect : Louis Kamper Owner: N/A Architectural Firm: Unknown         The gothic exterior of the now-demolished Cadillac Sqaure Building     The Cadillac Square Building was one of Louis Kamper's lesser known designs. This Gothic style building was designed in 1918 as the Real Estate Exchange Building. The building was located near the Barlum Hotel Tower, or Cadillac Tower as it is called today. Over the years, the name changed from the Real Estate Exchange Building to Cadillac Square Building. In comparison, the Cadillac Square Building appears to be a smaller version of the Cadillac Tower, but with more gothic detail. Oddly enough they were designed by two different architects. The tower served as the State of Michigan's "Detroit Capitol Building" for several years, but the state unloaded it in an effort to reign in costs. The building was later demolished in 1976. Today the site is a parking lot.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                ^top
