Guardians of Detroit: Architectural Sculpture in the Motor City is a first-of-its-kind effort to document the incredible collection of Architectural Sculpture in the city of Detroit. Published by Wayne State University Press, it features 332 pages and includes more than 770 photographs and extensively-researched text to tell the stories of some of Detroit's most unique structures.

This presentation features more than 100 spectacular pictures of architectural sculpture from throughout the city of Detroit. You will learn about the symbolism behind the ornamentation and hear some of the untold stories of the artists, artisans, and architects involved in its creation, all drawn from the Guardians of Detroit book. The program lasts about 60-90 minutes, which includes a question and answer session. The Guardians of Detroit book and coloring book will be available for purchase before and after the presentation.

Guardians of Detroit author Jeff Morrison is an historian and photographer who has been taking pictures since his parents gave him his first camera at age nine.
