Beautiful Building

Does anyone have any info on this building ? Just beautiful.

thank you so much. I thought that it may have been an old Orthodox Church. Interesting history.

I love the National! I'd love to have it restored with a similarly designed parking structure built in the lot next door. Could you imagine having Dita Von Teese [[a native Detroiter) produce a show there? Va va voom! LOL

Still a mystery as to what will happen to it. At least the above ground wires in this 2000 photograph are gone.

Yeah, it has always been a cool building.
