The Michigan Trust Company Building is a ten-storey, steel-frame, U-shaped office building situated in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It is located on a corner with two street-facing facades. These facades consist of rock-face, red sandstone on the lower two stories and dark red brick trimmed with red terra cotta on the upper eight stories. The facades are further divided horizontally with trim work above floors seven and nine. Each facade contains 117 window openings, with round-head windows on floors two, seven, and nine, and square-head windows in the remaining floors.

The Michigan Trust Company was established in 1889 by a group of Grand Rapids businessmen including Anton G. Hodenpyl and Lewis H. Withey. In 1890 the company purchased a plot of land on which to construct their headquarters building was to stand. The firm hired Chicago architect Solon S. Beman to design the building.

Taking inspiration in the romanesque buildings of Spain and France, Beman designed the structure in the Romanesque Revival style, using red sandstone, red brick and terra-cotta as its facing materials, giving what was to become the city's tallest office building a distinctive, elegant appearance.

Construction began in 1891 and the building was completed in 1892. The new building was the first structure in Grand Rapids constructed solely to house office space, and was at the time the tallest building in Grand Rapids and the second tallest in Michigan after the Hammond Building in Detroit. In 1913 the Michigan Trust Company constructed two ten-storey additions located at the rear of the building. In the late 1920s, a small eleventh story was added to house the University Club and the Women's City Club.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

The asset can be found in the 'Unique Buildings' tab.

Included with this asset is RICO compatibility which allows the building to function as a large office. If you subscribe to the Ploppable Rico Revisited mod this asset will appear in the RICO 'Offices' tab.

I've tried to make this asset as realistic as possible and therefore the geometry tri count is high and the textures large. All of the texture elements have been created specifically for this asset in order for full control over the final look.

Please try this asset out and if there are any problems let me know in the comments below.
