This building was known to be one of the best Detroit sunrise spots.
The building featured eleven high-speed freight elevators along with the passenger elevators which served the the second- and third-floor offices.

Undoubtedly the most interesting part of the building was the room that contained all of these giant compressor engines.
Many of the pipes were heavily insulated, perhaps not because they contained hot water or steam but cooled refrigerant for distribution throughout the cold storage areas of the building. Image from 2016
This building went through different ownership over the decades. Detroit Harbor Terminals, Inc. controlled it in the 1960s-1970s, and their name is still shown over the front doorway to the warehouse's offices.
