ERMost people drive past this building every day without realizing what’s inside.
On 313 Day, it feels like the perfect time to talk about a piece of Detroit history that deserves a second life.
Just west of downtown, near MotorCity Casino, sits the former Trinity Episcopal Church on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
For generations, this church served as a place of worship and community gathering in Detroit. The sanctuary alone seats more than 300 people, and the building spans over 13,000 square feet on nearly ¾ of an acre.
Inside you’ll still find incredible architectural details, historic stained glass, and a sanctuary designed to inspire the people who gathered there.
What makes this building even more interesting is that it hasn’t simply sat abandoned.
About $800,000 was invested into improvements, including updates to the boiler, restrooms, and other systems. Part of the building was even used as a daycare until recently, meaning the infrastructure for community use is already here.
From the roof, you can see nearly the entire city, with the Detroit skyline in one direction and the Ambassador Bridge in the other.
Today, the building is ready for its next chapter.
Could it become housing?�A nonprofit headquarters?�A community center?�Artist lofts?�Or even a church again?
The possibilities are endless.
The property is currently listed by Kevin Messier, and if you’re curious about the space or want to explore what could be done with it, I’d be happy to walk you through it.
