Take a step back in time with our reprints of historic Detroit postcards. This postcard is based on original postcards produced between 1920 and 1937, and captures a glimpse of the city's past.

This postcard features The General Motors Building. In 1919, General Motors founder William C. Durant agreed to build a permanent headquarters in Detroit. The company purchased a block between Cass and Second on West Grand Boulevard and demolished the 48 structures on the site. Groundbreaking took place on June 2, 1919, and the Cass Avenue wing was ready for occupancy in November 1920. The rest of the building was completed in 1922, and it served as General Motors' world headquarters from 1923 until 2001. The building is approximately 2 miles to the southwest of Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly, where Cadillacs are currently built.

The initial "D" for Durant was carved above the main entrance and in several other places on the building, but it was not changed after Durant was ousted from the company in 1921. The building was originally named the Durant Building, but it was renamed the General Motors Building after Durant's departure. The General Motors Building is a 15-story, 220-foot-tall structure that was designed in the neoclassical architectural style. It is made of steel, limestone, granite, and marble, and it features a two-story Corinthian colonnade. The building is a National Historic Landmark, and it is currently used by the State of Michigan as its Detroit offices.

Our remakes are printed in the USA on high-quality cardstock and measure 4x6 inches. They are perfect for framing, displaying, or sending to friends, family, and those unlucky enough to not live in Detroit.

Whether you're a history buff or just a fan of Detroit, these reprints of historic postcards are a great way to add a touch of nostalgia to your mailbox, home, or office.
