A friend’s wedding recently brought me to Boston. Not having visited for many years, I was now able to explore the city with more admiration for the styles of the buildings, the architects that built them, and some of the challenges that came with constructing them - making me appreciate walking around downtown Boston that much more. Here are some of my favorites.

Nestled on Detroit's East Jefferson Avenue stands a Tudor-style building that has been quietly shaping American ceramic art for over 120 years. Pewabic Pottery, founded in 1903, represents one of the oldest continuously operating ceramic facilities in the United States and serves as a living testament to Detroit's rich artistic heritage.

A new project recently brought us to Michigan. In our free time we explored Detroit's Michigan Central Station. The station stands as one of the most remarkable comeback stories in American architecture. This magnificent Beaux-Arts masterpiece has transformed from a symbol of urban decay into a shining beacon of Detroit's renewal, and its journey is nothing short of extraordinary.
