In the heart of downtown Detroit, a historic landmark has been reborn to reclaim its glory and captivate the city once again. The newly renovated Book Tower stands tall, commanding attention, as it welcomes visitors through its doors. But it is not just the building’s majestic architecture that has become the talk of the town – the swanky new rooftop bar, “Kampers,” is stealing the spotlight, making it a must-visit hotspot for locals and tourists alike.
The Book Tower has a long and storied past, dating back to 1916 when it first opened its doors. The 38-story building was originally constructed as a symbol of Detroit’s economic prosperity and housed numerous offices and retail spaces. Unfortunately, the tower fell into disrepair over the years, mirroring the city’s struggles. But thanks to a massive restoration project, the Book Tower has emerged anew, serving as a beacon of hope and revitalization for this vibrant city.
