The
1890's populist Detroit mayor, Hazen Pingree, has an excellent
view of historic Central
Methodist Church
at the corner of Woodward Ave. and Grand Circus Park.
Central
Methodist Church
Rock
of ages, Central Methodist Church,
built in 1867, has seen it all on Grand
Circus Park. The church, the Fyfe Building, the newly
restored Detroit Opera House and the David Whitney Building
are the only viable buildings remaining on the park.
In
1936 the church's steeple and part of the nave were jacked
up and moved back several feet to allow the widening of Woodward
Avenue. A shortened nave resulted from the event.
