Please see our public statement on the preservation of the Brodhead Armory and our letter to Detroit City Council which outlines a preservation-minded approach to its sale and redevelopment. Detroit cannot wait any longer to act on the Brodhead! 3/3 tinyurl.com/hzr294we

Preservation Detroit has spearheaded a preservation-minded approach to the sale and redevelopment of the Brodhead Armory and The Detroit Parade Company’s proposal is likely our best chance to save any portion of this historic landmark. 2/3
