The story

By Victoria Jackson, Editor in Chief Updated

In 1912, during the boom years when the auto industry turned Detroit into one of the fastest growing cities in America, the Broadway Market went up.

Credit the design to Harry C. Stevens, in the Beaux Arts style.

It is gone now, demolished in 1967, and the map pin below marks where it stood.
