Kresge Administration Building, Detroit, Mich., 1945

About this postcard

The S. S. Kresge Company's administration building fills a city block in Detroit, a large, multi-story office block in modern classic style with a green roof and regular rows of windows. The view looks across a street corner, with a tree and street lamp in the foreground and a smaller red brick building and an American flag at the left. The caption notes that the building covered two acres and served as the home office of the Kresge chain, the Detroit-based five-and-ten-cent store company that later became Kmart.
