Currently, it's an office building with a theater showing Broadway quality shows, and some shops and restaurants on the ground floor. One of the most recognizable sights on Detroit's skyline, the building is also known as "The Golden Tower." The original gold-leaf tiles on the tower were covered with asphalt during WWII for fear of bombing. Following the war the damaged gold tiles were replaced with green terra cotta tiles that are illuminated gold at night.

As a novice of woodworking, I was blown-away by the intricate woodwork and finishings throughout the home. The three ladies that lead our tour of the home shared many interesting details about the property, its restoration, and details of Clara and Henry's years at the estate. Many of the restoration stories, like finding a tub for Henry's bathroom or how Clara had a section repainted white were intriguing. Even though much of the home, especially the second floor, is still being restored it was a fascinating experience.

There wasn't much actually open amongst the majestic-looking buildings while I was there, but the picnic area was hopping. The signage was bilingual-in English and Arabic-and what appeared to be a Yemeni wedding seemed to be taking place. The juxtaposition of the estate of an industrialist (or robber baron, or visionary, or racist, depending on your point of view) with a distinctive immigrant community makes for a striking reflection on Americana. The grounds include some gardens, and a lake with a path around it. Access to the river is limited, but it didn't look like that impressive of a river. The greenery is more worthwhile.

Uniroyal was founded 1892 as the United States Rubber Company in Connecticut as part of the merger of nine separate companies which was one of the biggest corporate consolidations at the time. They became a major supplier for General Motors as an OEM manufacturer. In 1985, Uniroyal merged its tire operations with B.F. Goodrich, forming the Uniroyal Goodrich Tire Company and they were later acquired by Michelin in 1990, ending its run as an independent company. And I can't remember ever having a Uniroyal on my many vehicles. The Uniroyal Giant Tire was built for the 1964 New York World's Fair as a Ferris wheel styled structure. It was moved here to Allen Park and remains a symbol of their legacy. You can't miss it just off I-94. [Review 680 of 2025 - 388 in Michigan - 24241 overall]

There is a huge sign outside the location naming the site - however, that's the only information on it. There is only an unremarkable street address fastened to the chain link fence (which I am reasonably sure is not historic) which surrounds the place. Parking is limited to two spaces. The windows are closed off with steel grates - and they don't look like the original inhabitant put them there, either. The steps and doors are in poor condition. The woodwork around the building is in a state of rot. It may be advanced but the thickly applied and questionably historically correct paint doesn't allow full examination. The building is filled with a collection of junk. The walls, ceilings and floors have obviously been reworked over the decades with the result that what is in there is a confused presentation. It looks more like a museum of do-it-yourself failures than a historical site. The storm cellar door is rotten. The windows are filthy. The yard is mowed but that is all. In the grass and yard there are several hidden items like stones, wood and metal that are a hazard to simply walking. There is no trail to the door. No supporting material. In any case - it's an eyesore and dangerous to approach.

Old school cars is only one aspect. Learning about presidential limousines is only one aspect. But you really learn about the progression of society from the beginning of time until now.

I think I may have spent around 2-3 hours here alone. And that's just me perusing through all the exhibits relatively quickly. You can spend hours in here. It's truly worth the money.

Word on the street is that the Monumental Kitty works just like the Sphinx: if you don't answer his riddle he gets to eat you. During my latest visit to Corktown I visited him every morning, to feed him by incorrectly answering his riddle. But, selfless cat that he is, he let me live. It's an appropriate symbol of Detroit's fighting spirit and civic engagement that such an inspired sculpture took control of the pedestrian overpass even as the old Tiger Stadium across the I-75 got blasted into rubble. Thanks to the vision and technical skill of North Corktown artist Jerome Ferretti, the efforts of neighborhood volunteers, some funding from local businesses, and a very successful Kickstarter campaign, this nine-foot-diameter cat head is as good as nine-foot-diameter cat heads get.
