Since the early 1900s the white columned building at the corner of Caniff and Joseph Campau in Hamtramck has been home to a bank, a cafe, multiple tap rooms, and in most recent memory a Chinese restaurant called The Golden Hill Chop Suey. The last tenant vacated the building in 2012, however a recent rehab is spelling a new chapter for the space. Now dubbed Bank Suey, the building has been reactivated into a community space hosting a rotating array of workshops, events, and pop-ups.

This Saturday, caffeine seekers can find a new coffee pop-up — New Weird America — making pour overs with Anthology beans and serving up fresh pressed ginger shots and juice in Bank Suey. The pop-up is expected to become a regular in the space. Photographers Chris and Michelle Gerard took a tour of the building on Friday and checked out the new coffee spot.
