Historic District Commission Hearing on the Vanity Ballroom
Wednesday October 14th: 6pm at the Coleman A. Young Center, 13th Floor Auditorium.

The Historic District Commission will be holding a public hearing on the condition of the historic Vanity Ballroom. The issue before the commission is whether to charge to owner of the Vanity of "demolition by neglect" and order him to secure this historic structure in order to prevent further decay.

Jefferson East Business Association [[JEBA) is asking concerned residents, property owners and all of those concerned with halting the decay of this structure to come out the the hearing and help encourage the owner to secure this building.

Designed by Charles Agree and built in 1929, the Vanity Ballroom is currently listed on the National Register for historic places. The current owner has made no effort to secure this structure and it is currently open to trespass and the elements.

If you have any questions, please contact JEBA Executive Director, Joshua Elling at 313-331-7939
