Caryatids of Book Tower

Detroit, MI

Twelve sculpted female figures line the exterior of Detroit's restored Book Tower, appearing to support part of the building high above Washington Boulevard. The unusual caryatids survive from the tower's elaborate early twentieth-century design and can be viewed from public downtown streets.
