Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Looking upward from ground level at the north side of the façade of the El Tovar Apartments, 320 East Grand Boulevard, Detroit, Michigan, December 2020. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places as an excellent example of the Art Deco-inflected Moorish Revival architecture that was en vogue at the time of the building's construction (1928), the roofline in particular presents a multitude of whimsical features that catch the eye: minaret-like towers projecting from the corners of the façade, a raking arcaded corbel table to the right, arched openings here and there, and - in an interesting application of Classical principles - parapet walls styled as pediments with raking dentil rows atop. Note also the decorative brickwork in the spandrel panels at left, between the first-, second-, and third-story windows, in the form of repeating chevrons. |
