Graystone Ballroom, Gothic Revival dance hall in Detroit, United States

The Graystone Ballroom was a dance hall at 4237 Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, billed as "Detroit's Million Dollar Ballroom". Its floorplan was designed to hold 3,000 people, making it the largest ballroom in the city when it opened. The building no longer stands: it was demolished in 1980.

The Graystone Ballroom opened on March 7, 1922 at 4237 Woodward Avenue, billed as "Detroit's Million Dollar Ballroom". Its floorplan was designed to hold 3,000 people, making it the largest ballroom in the city at the time. It ranked among Detroit's six great ballrooms before the 1929 stock market crash halted new construction. After decades of decay and vandalism, it was demolished in 1980 for a McDonald's that still stands on the site.

The Graystone was billed as "Detroit's Million Dollar Ballroom" and, with a floorplan for 3,000 people, ranked among the six great ballrooms of the city before the 1929 stock market crash halted new construction. Its name survives in local memory even though the building is gone.

The building no longer exists: it was demolished in 1980, and a McDonald's stands on the Woodward Avenue site today. There is nothing left of the ballroom to visit, so plan to see the location itself rather than any surviving structure.
