PESO: View from The Pavilion

[Paul Stenquist]

While shooting virtual tours for real estate, I sometimes come across  
unusual buildings. I shot tours at a building in downtown Detroit the  
other day that surprised me. Built in 1957, it struck me as having  
been well ahead of its time. The architectural style looked familiar,  
so I checked when I got home and discovered that it was designed by  
Mies van der Rohe and is on the National Register of Historic Places.  
The exterior of the 20 story apartment building is mostly windows,  
framed in metal. The lobby is all black marble. It's in excellent  
condition and 95% occupied. The building is situated at the eastern  
edge of downtown, and its framed by a nice little park. The attached  
pic is the view from a 15th floor apartment. You can see the GM  
building (formerly the Renaissance Center and quite possibly soon to  
be something else) at the far left. Ford Field, the domed stadium, is  
at the far right. The shot is a composite of three frames from the  
pano I shot in this apartment. They're 16mm verticals, f13 @ about 1/4  
second, ISO 200. Click to make it larger:
