Grand Circus Park Historic District
Grand Circus Park Historic District, Historic district in Downtown Detroit, United States
The Grand Circus Park Historic District encompasses a five-acre park divided by Woodward Avenue, connecting downtown Detroit's theater district with its financial sector.
Judge Augustus Woodward designed the district in 1850 as part of his geometric plan to reconstruct Detroit following the devastating fire of 1805.
The district features notable architectural works from Albert Kahn, Daniel Burnham, and C. Howard Crane, with styles ranging from Beaux-Arts to Gothic Revival.
Two underground parking structures beneath the park provide spaces for 790 vehicles, with the eastern section accommodating 250 and western portion fitting 540.
The Russell Alger Memorial Fountain, created by Lincoln Memorial architect Henry Bacon in 1921, stands in the eastern section with an allegorical figure symbolizing Michigan.
