All 3 of Wood's works on record, oldest at left. None has a height on record, so each is drawn at one standard size in the shape of its kind.

The story

By Victoria Jackson, Editor in Chief Updated

The work that leads Wood's record here is the Garrick Theatre, built in Detroit in 1887 and demolished in 1928.

A span of 12 years separates the Garrick Theatre (1887) from the Wonderland and Temple Theatre (1899), the first and last of Wood's works here. None of Wood's work here survives. The Garrick Theatre came down in 1928. On the Wonderland and Temple Theatre, Wood shares credit with John Scott.

Mason & Rice is credited beside Wood on Detroit Opera House (second).
