What
once was Detroit's largest and grandest hotel, the Cadillac
Hotel,
is now empty and rapidly deteriorating. Seen to the right
are the upper floors of the Penobscot Building.
Cadillac Hotel
When
I stood up in a friend's wedding at the Cadillac
Hotel in the 1960's it would have seemed inconceivable
that this splendid edifice would ever be abandoned.
Its
sad decline burdens its immediate neighborhood while a lack
of hotel rooms hinders Detroit's convention attracting abilities.
