The Detroit Publishing Co. beautifully captures this architectural masterpiece, which stands as a testament to American art and culture. The Victorian building, constructed between 1871 and 1876 by Frank Furness and George Hewitt, boasts an impressive blend of materials including rusticated brownstone, dressed sandstone, polished pink granite, red pressed brick, and purplish terra-cotta. Its intricate design features arched windows that add a touch of elegance to its overall aesthetic. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but appreciate the historical significance of this institution. Founded in 1805, it holds the distinction of being the first and oldest art museum and art school in the United States. It has nurtured countless artists throughout its existence.
