- Description:
- View of the Fox Theater in Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, designed by architect C. Howard Crane. "The crowning achievement of Crane's career in Detroit was the Fox Theater on Woodward Avenue, seating over five thousand people, it outdistanced all other movie palaces in the city in the magnitude of its proportions, the vast auditorium, unobstructed by columns, was a marvel of engineering, but the aspect that elicited the most unbridled panegyrics from the press at the time of the opening in 1928 was the fantastic magnificence of the decor," from "The Buildings of Detroit: a History" by W. Hawkins Ferry. The Fox Theater was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 and designated a National Historical Landmark in 1989.

- Description:
- Exterior view of the Riviera Theater on Grand River Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. Designed by architect John Eberson designed in an "atmospheric/Italian Renaissance style, and resembled a palazzo, complete with a spectacular auditorium decorated to look like an outdoor courtyard. Its soaring grand lobby was equally stunning, complete with a grand marble staircase and not one but three great arched windows over front doors. A four-story vertical marquee spelled out the theater's name boldly over Grand River Avenue," from Cinema Treasures web site. The theater which could seat 2800 people opened in 1925 and was demolished in 1999.
