Fisher Building

Completed in 1928 in Detroit’s New Center, the Fisher Building was financed by the Fisher family as an office and retail complex that also included the Fisher Theatre, giving it an unusual dual role in business and performance. Designed by Albert Kahn and Associates with Joseph Nathaniel French as chief architect, the Art Deco tower helped establish New Center as a second business district. Celebrated for its lavish marble interior, sculptural decoration, and once-gilded roof, it became one of Detroit’s most admired skyscrapers. The building also developed lasting ties to radio broadcasting and live theater, and it was named a National Historic Landmark in 1989.
