The Old Wayne County building was once the home of the Wayne County Hall of Justice, the Detroit Traffic Court, and the Wayne County Friend of the Court. The elaborate building was completed in 1902 and features eighteen courtrooms, stunning architecture, and striking sculptures. The interior of the building is rich with mahogany wood, Italian marble, Tiffany windows, and mosaic-tiling. After falling into disrepair, the building was restored to its former glory in 1987, but has been vacant since 2009. Join us on this tour to learn about the history of the Old Wayne County Building and to see the beautiful art and architecture of the building up close.
