Description
View of the ornate front of the Security Trust building designed by Albert Kahn and completed c. 1925. "The front façade has columns flanking three four-story tall arches. The columns are finished with elaborately carved human and animal motifs ... The relief stone carving of human and animal motifs was done in 1925 by Corrado Parducci, who is originally from outside Pisa in Italy ... The seven-story Security Trust building has recently gone through a 14-month renovation, which symbolizes the reemergence of Detroit (2). The building is now Security Trust Lofts which features 19 apartments and had its first tenant move in to this historic building in July 2013,"--Historic Detroit website.
