Wurlitzer or Metropolitan

[Gistok]

I don't forsee the Detroit Opera House selling any of their surface parking lot behind the building for any other use. They do have some ideas on developing the space that may involve outdoor performance space or other uses.... when the economy improves. I see that parking lot as temporary.

When the theatre was opened in 1922, they designed it so that they could possibly put performance space on top of the roof.... which was common in the pre-air conditioning era.... to generate revenue during summer months when many theatres were closed. Of course much of that space now houses the air conditioning units.
