What do the stone faces on the Macomb County Building in downtown Mount Clemens represent?
A. When the County Building was planned in the late 1920s, a military motif was chosen for the building decorations, in honor of the presence of Selfridge Air Base in the community. In keeping with this plan, the figures of a soldier, sailor, marine and air man were chosen. Later, two additional figures were added to the design: a Revolutionary War soldier and an American Indian.
