The story
The Scarab Club heads Sukert's work in Metro Detroit, a building in Detroit's Cultural Center, finished in 1928 and listed on the National Register in 1979.
In Detroit, Sukert's work stands in Cultural Center and Riverbend. The record opens in 1927 with St. Columba Episcopal Church, during the boom years when the auto industry turned Detroit into one of the fastest growing cities in America, and closes in 1928 with The Scarab Club.
Both St. Columba Episcopal Church and The Scarab Club still stand. Anyone tracing Sukert's work can begin at St. Columba Episcopal Church at 1021 Manistique St and follow the map from there.
