The story

By Victoria Jackson, Editor in Chief Updated

Greektown Historic District is one of the places that gives Greektown its character.

The National Register of Historic Places listed it in 1982.

Go see it at Monroe Ave., between Brush and St. Antoine Sts. Photos never get the scale right.

Greektown is a commercial and entertainment district in Detroit, Michigan, United States, located northeast of Downtown Detroit, along Monroe Avenue between Brush and St. Antoine streets. It has a station by that name on the city's elevated downtown transit system known as the Detroit People Mover.
