    Guardian Building National Historic Landmark (See Map Attachment D; see Figures 48-49) The Guardian Building National Historic Landmark is a monolithic forty-story, ceramic tile and brick-clad, steel-frame, skyscraper; it is an excellent example of the Art Deco style and is richly embellished with ornament indicative of that style. The property was listed in the NRHP under Criterion C as a significant example of Art Deco and skyscraper architecture designed by architect Wirt C. Rowland of the architectural firm Smith, Hinchman, and Grylls. It was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1989. Near the Guardian Building National Historic Landmark, project implementation under Design Option 2 would include installation of guideway alignments in Congress Street’s southernmost lane 15 feet north of the property and in Larned Street’s southernmost lane approximately 40 feet south of the property. The OCS, consisting of support poles and wires, would be installed in roadway rights-of-way along the alignments. No physical impacts to the Guardian Building National Historic Landmark would occur; no project activity is proposed within the property’s NRHP boundary. Therefore, no effects to the property’s integrity of location, design, materials, and workmanship would occur. Although the proposed guideway alignment and OCS would be visible from some portions of the Guardian Building National Historic Landmark, these facilities represent a minor alteration to the property’s visual urban setting. No historic views to or from the building would be obscured. Because no views would be obscured, no visual effects to the property were identified. Furthermore, based on current information, no auditory, vibratory, or atmospheric impacts were identified for these properties.

    Lower Woodward Avenue Historic District (See Map Attachment C; see Figure 29) The Lower Woodward Avenue Historic District is comprised of two- and three-part commercial block buildings ranging in height from four to ten stories, located along Woodward Avenue between State Street and Clifford Street. The predominant architectural style is the Chicago School with Queen Anne, Art Moderne, and International styles also represented. The district was listed in the NRHP under Criterion A for its significance as a part of Judge Augustus B. Woodward’s original 1907 plan for Detroit and under Criterion C as a collection of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century commercial buildings designed by prominent local architects. Within the Lower Woodward Avenue Historic District, project implementation would be limited to installation of the guideway alignment along the median of Woodward Avenue between Clifford Street and Grand River Avenue and along Grand River Avenue between Woodward Avenue and Shelby Street. The OCS, consisting of support poles and wires, would be installed in roadway rights-of-way along the alignment. No physical impacts to contributing properties within the Lower Woodward Avenue Historic District would occur as the guideway and OCS would be located in the roadway right-of-way; no project activity is proposed within the legal parcels of any contributing property. Rights-of-way within the district that would be affected by LRT guideway and OCS construction contain non- historic roadway materials; these features do not contribute to the historic district’s significance. Therefore, no effects to the property’s integrity of location, design, materials, and workmanship would occur.
