The Book-Cadillac Hotel in Detroit is undergoing a massive $176 million renovation project that, when finished, will evoke memories of how the Motown landmark looked when it first opened in 1924.
Marc Hesse of Cornice & Slate in Ferndale, Mich., received the contract to reroof the flat roof on the Book-Cadillac Hotel, and the company is also rebuilding three rectangular, stepped pyramidal copper towers that adorn the top of the hotel.
