    Glad to see the monument is back and assembled.

    Yeah Lmich, theres quite a few examples of that style round here. But my point is that Richardson PERSONALLY designed this monument. No other structure in Detroit has ever been identified as having been deisgned by Richardson himself. Just in his style.

    Actually, the GAR Building on Grand River, downtown, is another example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture.
