This building was designed by Albert Kahn in the Renaissance Revival style, built in 1907, it is constructed of brick and terracotta and is absolutely gorgeous. When I say Casino, I do not mean a gambling type establishment, it is simply a place for public gatherings. For this single afternoon each building on the island is open to the public, with the Casino building acting as the headquarters for the event. Sponsored by the Friends of the Detroit River, Shiver celebrates Belle Isle and the incredible Detroit River.
Saturday February 4th was the Annual Shiver On The River on Belle Isle.
