In Horace v. City of Pontiac, 456 Mich 744; 575 NW2d 762 (1998), the Supreme Court reviewed the applicability of the public building exception to areas adjacent to buildings. The Court observed that only a broad reading of the exception would allow for its application to anything but the building. The Court rejected such a reading, and held that the defect or condition must be of the building itself. Liability does not extend to walkways. Id at 757.
