The Gem Theatre in Detroit houses a two level theatre with traditional row and aisle seating and intimate stage-level seating at cabaret tables. It shares a lobby with the cabaret style Century Theatre . The theatre has stylings of Spanish Revival architecture. The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.HistoryIn 1902, the Twentieth Century Club, a group of cultural, socially prominent women, built a Mission-style building to house their club. The building, now the Century Theatre, is built of red brick trimmed with white sandstone. The first floor originally housed a dining room, while the second floor housed a 400-seat auditorium.In 1928, the member of the Century club contracted George D. Mason to design a theater addition to the Century Club building. The resulting Spanish Revival-style building was leased to the Little Theatre chain, which showed foreign films, and the building was known as the Little Theatre.In 1933, due to the Depression, the Twentieth Century Club disbanded. The Little Theatre, however, continued, suffering through several name changes, becoming The Rivoli in 1932, Drury Lane (and then the Europa in 1935, the Cinema in 1936, and the Vanguard Playhouse in 1960. The Vanguard offered live theater rather than movies.Finally, in 1967, the theatre was named the Gem. The building was used as an adult movie house until it closed in 1978. Soon afterward, developer Charles Forbes purchased the combined Gem/Century building, and began a complete restoration of the Gem Theatre in 1990. The refurbished Gem opened in 1991.

The Central United Methodist Church is located at 23 East Adams Street in Downtown Detroit, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1977 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.Congregational historyThe Central United Methodist Church's roots date back to 1804, when the first Methodist circuit riders came to Detroit for a brief visit. On the third visit of the Rev. Nathan Bangs that year, youth of the city put gunpowder in the candlesticks and cut the mane and tail of his horse. He left, "shaking the dust off his feet in testament against them," he wrote in his journal. After that experience no circuit rider ventured to Detroit until 1809, when the Rev. William Case arrived. Case wrote to Bishop Asbury that he found it difficult to find "any serious people" in Detroit, but did note that there were a few who wanted to form a congregation. When the next circuit rider, the Rev. William Mitchell, came in 1810, the congregation was established as the First Methodist Society of Michigan. Thus Central became the first organized Protestant congregation in what was then the Michigan Territory.Its first building, a log church, was built in 1818 outside the city on the banks of the Rouge River in what is now Dearborn. It had met in the territorial council house up until that time. The church was legally incorporated in 1822. Construction was completed on the congregation's first building within the city of Detroit in 1826, at the corner of Gratiot and Farmer. This building was replaced in 1833 by a building at Woodward and Congress, and again in 1849 by a building at Woodward and State. A church for a second congregation spun off by Central (the Congress Street Society), was built at Congress and Randolph in 1846.

PARADISE VALLEY ENTERTAINMENT & CULTURAL DISTRICT They called it Paradise Valley, in Detroit's Black Bottom. It was a 66 square block area on the near east side of Detroit's downtown and from the 1920s on it was where the vast majority of the African American population of Detroit lived. By the 1940s it was teeming with the new immigrant blacks from the South who had moved north for good paying jobs in factories beginning two decades earlier on Henry Ford's promise of $5 per day. The living conditions weren't great: overcrowded tenements and row houses, but in the center of it all, on Hastings Street, you could find some great fun. And all the great jazz and blues clubs of Detroit: the Flame Show Bar, Three Star Bar, Forest Club. And you could also find the great Detroit blues musicians, there too: John Lee Hooker, Big Maceo Merriweather, Bobo Jenkins, Baby Boy Warren, Calvin Frazier, Boogie Woogie Red. Paradise Valley, on all accounts was a hell of a place, and it was named this because it was no paradise and because there was nothing green about it, no trees, or anything –it was neither a valley, nor a paradise; but this mere strip of land on the east side of the city became the home to thousands and thousands of migrant African Americans. These short history lessons here are important when illustrating the artistic climate throughout Detroit's history. Paradise Valley, while one of the saddest, most impoverished, and depressing areas of the city was also a hotbed for entertainment and artistic activity, with movie-houses, and some of the first jazz clubs to come up in the north. The 1930s, 40s, and 50s saw all of the jazz greats come through Detroit. Jazz wasn't chic in those days, it wasn't about good music to smoke a cigar to, it was a rogue rhythmic music, much like Hip Hop is today. Arts and entertainment in the African American community was quite possibly the only escape there was. It is safe to say also that without Paradise Valley there would have been no Motown. Harmonie Park is the prime location to continue the great legacy of Paradise Valley. Located at the heart of a new and exciting entertainment district in Detroit, Harmonie Park is surrounded by the countries second largest theatre district (only New York has more theatre seats), and the incomparable Grand Circus Park. Within walking distance is The Fox Theatre, The State Theatre, The Opera House, The Music Hall, The Gem & Century Club, Hockeytown, Ford Field, Comerica Park, the new Hilton Garden Inn and a number of restaurants, bars and pubs. It is positioned to be the entertainment district Detroit has been longing for. Around the world we are known more for our great music than anything else. Nobody on the planet can lay claim to more great music across so many genre's; Jazz, Blues, Rock, Pop, R&B, Gospel, Techno, Rap & Hip Hop.

Detroit is the only city on the planet that can lay claim to the title "MUSIC CAPITOL OF THE WORLD!" When visitors come to our city the biggest question asked is "Where is the music?"

The Women's City Club is a women's club located at 2110 Park Avenue in Downtown Detroit, Michigan, within the Park Avenue Historic District. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1979.HistoryWomen's organizations became increasingly influential in the years after the American Civil War as a class of highly educated, middle class women arose in the nation. Their impact was at its peak in the years around World War I, when the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing women's suffrage, was ratified. In Detroit, it became apparent at that time that the many women's organizations in the city needed a centralized place to meet. In 1919, a number of local activists founded the "Women's City Club" to "promote a broad acquaintance among women." The club hired architect William B. Stratton (husband of ceramicist and club member Mary Chase Perry Stratton) to design a suitable building; the structure was completed in 1924.DescriptionThe exterior of the building is built of brick, in a featureless modern style. The six stories are differentiated into the lower three floors, which are blocky and regular; and the three upper floors, which appear to be set onto the lower floors. The brick color differs between the two sections, as does the appearance of the windows. There is also a horizontal range of bricks between the two sections. The lower floors were designed to be meeting spaces for social events and planning the activities of members. The three upper floors were used as an apartments for women who moved to Detroit for employment and wished to live in a wholesome environment.
