Basso Building, 7338 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, Wayne County, MI
Summary
Significance: This is a significant example of the kind of speculative commercial construction commonplace in Detroit during the city's period of rapid growth brought about by the success of the automobile industry in the late 1910s and early 1920s. It was built to provide office space in the rapidly-expanding New Center area in mid-town of neo-classical design, with elaborate Beaux-Arts ornamentation.
