"The Gothic Room" - a photo on Flickriver

"The Gothic Room"

            The Gothic Room was the opulent smoking room of the SS City of Detroit III, a side-wheeler steamboat built in 1911 that toured the Great Lakes.  De-commissioned in 1950, "The Gothic Room" was removed,  and eventually restored as the entrance to the Dossin Great Lakes Museum on Belle Isle Park, in the Detroit River.

The room is a marvel of dark-stained, intricately-carved English oak. As shown in the picture, when entering the museum, the first view is of the grand stained glass wall inscribed "The French Led By LaSalle Discover Detroit"

(Note: Being tired of seeing pictures of destruction and decay of Detroit in the media (and Flickr), I've decided to highlight some unique and grand structures in Detroit.)
