    Default Ford Auditorium Architect Question

    In "The Buildings of Detroit" Ferry mentions that two architectural firms were commissioned for Ford Auditorium. Crane, Kiehler and Kellogg; and O'Dell, Hewlett and Luckenback. The latter is the firm that is more commonly mentioned. I am having a difficult time finding any information on Crane, Kiehler and Kellogg, as a firm. I'm aware of C.H. Crane's work, so I'm assuming that his firm was involved in the interior theatre construction. Does anyone have any information, or can point me in the right direction to obtain said information? A Google search didn't prove to be helpful.

    Also -- another discrepancy -- in the book, "Detroit: A Motor City History" by David Poremba, the author states that that, "a 2.5 million gift was given to the city for the construction of the Henry and Clara Ford Auditorium." I've always heard it referred to as the Edsel and Eleanor Ford Auditorium. Is this author error?

    Any information provided would be helpful!

    Typical "newbie" error! How ironic that it's posted under "how to use this forum." OY!
