The story
The work that leads Gerhke's record here is the Foundation Hotel, a hotel in Detroit, finished in 1929.
The record opens in 1929 with the Foundation Hotel, in the years Detroit became the Motor City and built like it meant to stay on top, and closes in 1931 with Detroit Fire Department Training School. Both the Foundation Hotel and Detroit Fire Department Training School still stand.
In Detroit, Gerhke's work stands in Core City. The Foundation Hotel at 250 W. Larned is a good first stop for anyone tracing Gerhke's buildings.
