Please join @PresDetroit and our Detroit community in saving the Brodhead Armory on Thursday, May 20 at 11 a.m.! Your public comment has the power to breathe life once again into this historic space and save its cultural and architectural treasures! 1/3 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

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
