This 7 story building was built at the corner of Cass & Montcalm in 1926 for the distribution and booking of movies for the Detroit area. The building featured fire proof vaults for the nitrate films for all its tenants, and detailing such as a sculpture above the main Cass Avenue entrance, a lobby in Travertine marble, and brass elevator doors. The building was mainly occupied by unions by 1964, around the time the occupancy rates began to fall. The building closed in the mid 70s.
