This authentic 1960s color photograph captures the striking verticality of One Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, in 1967. Designed by famed architect Minoru Yamasaki, the 26-floor skyscraper is celebrated for its delicate, Gothic-inspired exterior and slender white ribs, design elements Yamasaki would later refine for the World Trade Center. The building stands prominently against a clear sky, flanked by the historic red-brick Guardian Building and the modern Hotel Pontchartrain. In the foreground, a manicured green lawn at Hart Plaza is active with spinning water sprinklers, while classic mid-century cars and street signs for “Standard Federal Savings” populate the urban landscape. This high-resolution scan beautifully preserves the clean lines and optimistic spirit of Detroit’s mid-century architectural boom. This digital download is an incredible piece of local history, perfect to print for yourself as vintage Michigan wall art.
