About this event
Join MBCA International Stars for a Scenic Drive and Historic Architecture Tour Sunday, July 26
The event will consist of a short walking tour of a few University of Michigan buildings designed by Albert Kahn, followed by a scenic and leisurely drive that will include portions of the Car & Driver loop. It will be a great morning and fun for members, friends, and family!
Albert Kahn is often known for his work with industrialist Henry Ford, building Ford Motor Company’s massive River Rouge Complex in Dearborn in 1917. He is also known for the 30-story Fisher Building in Detroit. Both are among his constructions recognized as nationally historic places.
