The Cadillac Square Building was one of Louis Kamper's lesser known designs. This gothic-style building was designed in 1918, under which it was known as the Real Estate Exchange Building. The building was located near the Barlum Hotel Tower, or Cadillac Tower as it is called today.
Over the years, the name changed from the Real Estate Exchange Building to Cadillac Square Building.
In comparison, the Cadillac Square Building appears to be a smaller version of the Cadillac Tower, but with more gothic detail. Oddly enough they were designed by two different architects.
The building was later demolished in 1978. Today the site is a parking lot. |
