Description
The Eastown was one of Detroit's great neighborhood theaters. It opened originally in 1930 for the Wisper & Wetsman circuit. It was mainly a movie house, with a grand stage and large orchestra pit, which also hosted many of the finest stage shows in its early years.
Its decor was a mixture of Renaissance styles, including Spanish and Italian with Baroque and Neo-Classial elements as well. The auditorium, which included a balcony, originally sat just under 2500. It was designed by the firm of VJ Waier & Co.
Beginning in 1969, the list of performers on the Eastown's stage reads like a who's-who of rock and roll of that era. Alice Cooper, the Doors, Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, Bob Seger, Jethro Tull and the Grateful Dead are just a few of the bands who played here between 1969 and 1973.
Included in the property are the 2000 seat 12,000 square foot main theater, 2 story ballroom, 36 on site apartments, 5 store fronts, 4600 sq ft youth theater, 5000 sq ft clinic, and 16 surface lots which can accommodate over 3,000 cars.
Significant historic preservation tax credits are available.
