The Detroit Ford Auditorium

Ford Auditorium was an auditorium in Detroit, Michigan that was built in 1955 and opened in 1956. Located on the Detroit riverfront, it served as a home to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) for more than 33 years and was an integral part of the city's Civic Center. With approval from Ford and the city, the building was demolished in July 2011 as part of the city's waterfront redesign plans.
