This authentic 1960s color photograph captures the sleek, modernist exterior of One Woodward Avenue in downtown Detroit, Michigan, in 1967. Designed by renowned architect Minoru Yamasaki, this 26-floor skyscraper served as a design precursor to his later work on the World Trade Center twin towers in New York. The image showcases the building’s distinctive gothic-inspired vertical soaring ribs and the delicate, patterned ceiling visible through the expansive floor-to-ceiling glass lobby. In the foreground, a white mid-century sedan blurs past, emphasizing the kinetic energy of the city’s financial district. Giacomo Manzù’s “Passo di Danza” (Dance Step) bronze sculpture is visible on the plaza, adding a touch of elegance to the rigid lines of the International Style architecture. This high-resolution scan provides a crisp look at the mid-century modern aesthetic that defined Detroit’s post-war skyline. This digital download is an incredible piece of local history, perfect to print for yourself as vintage Michigan wall art.
