Detail from Pewabic Pottery tile decoration from the Guardian Building, 1928, Detroit MI.

Mary Chase Perry Stratton and her partner Horace Caulkins founded the Pewabic Pottery based on the Arts & Crafts style and ideal sweeping the country. The building they built in 1907 they moved to the building that still houses an active pottery, museum and store.

Pewabic Pottery Tiles the Guardian Building, Detroit.

I received this fantastic book as a gift and had to re-post the Guardian Building. Anyone who is into architecture will love it and Detroiters need to see it to appreciate gems in that city (before they disappear).
