The Glazier Building still stands across Main Street to the left. It was built by Chelsea stove manufacturer and state treasurer Frank P. Glazier to house his newspaper and offices. A symbol of his wealth, ambition, and influence, it became instead a reminder of personal failure. Bankruptcy--followed by a prison term for embezzlement--forced him to resign as state treasurer before the building was completed in 1908. Except for the loss of the elaborate pressed-metal cornice, the exterior of what was once Ann Arbor's tallest building has changed little from the time of its construction.
