The story
The work that leads Schley's record here is Bleu Detroit (Telenews Theatre), a theater in Detroit, finished in 1942.
A span of 20 years separates the Somerset Apartments (1922) from Bleu Detroit (Telenews Theatre) (1942), the first and last of Schley's works here. In Detroit, Schley's work stands in Lafayette Park.
The region has lost the Somerset Apartments, demolished in 2013 from Schley's record. Bleu Detroit (Telenews Theatre) still stands. C. Howard Crane is credited beside Schley on the Somerset Apartments.
Elmer George Kiehler is credited beside Schley on the Somerset Apartments. Go see Bleu Detroit (Telenews Theatre) at 1540 Woodward Ave for yourself.
