The story

By Victoria Jackson, Editor in Chief Updated

St. Regis Hotel opened in 1966, as Detroit rebuilt its riverfront and downtown in concrete, steel and glass.

Credit the design to Weil-Cohan Associates, in the Neo-Renaissance style.

It is still open, and still part of daily life in the city.
