Book Description
Naylor believes that few buildings in America are as spectacular and marvelously original as movie theaters. But in many towns and cities some of these great theaters are lost forever, torn down or destroyed by neglect. In this book, Naylor recaptures the spirit of the old movie theaters, and shows where to find and see the hundreds that remain. He describes these architectural wonders in detail, providing evidence of why the picture palaces and movie houses of the past now share a treasured place in the national memory.

Detroit's Downtown Movie Palaces

Book Description
The spokelike grid of wide grand avenues radiating out from downtown Detroit allowed for a concentration of theaters initially along Monroe Street near Campus Martius and, after the second decade of the 20th century, clustered around Grand Circus Park, all easily accessible by a vast network of streetcars. In its heyday, Grand Circus Park boasted a dozen palatial movie palaces containing an astonishing total of 26,000 seats. Of these theaters, five remain today, fully restored and operational for live entertainment. Detroit, more so than any other North American city, illustrates how demographic and economic forces dramatically changed the landscape of film exhibition in an urban setting.
