Michigan Building, Renaissance Revival office building and theater in downtown Detroit, United States
The Michigan Building is a 13-story office structure in downtown Detroit with brick walls accented by terra cotta and granite details, featuring ornate metalwork at its street level. Inside, you'll find office spaces, a restaurant, retail shops, a bar, and a parking garage built into the space where the theater once operated.
The theater opened in 1926 as part of John Kunsky's entertainment empire, attracting prominent performers of that era. The building later transitioned into mixed-use purposes as the theater declined.
The building once served as an entertainment hub where audiences gathered for live performances and shows. Today it reflects Detroit's shift from a theater city to a mixed-use commercial center.
The building sits in downtown Detroit with easy pedestrian access and nearby public transit options, plus its own parking garage. The mix of restaurants, shops, and office spaces means there's activity throughout the day and into the evening.
The site holds a connection to Detroit's automotive roots, as an early automobile project once occupied this location. This link to the city's founding industry is now preserved only in museum collections.
