Broadway Avenue Historic District (Detroit)

The Broadway Avenue Historic District is a historic district located on a single city block along Broadway Avenue between Gratiot and East Grand River in downtown Detroit, Michigan.

The Broadway Avenue Historic District contains eleven commercial buildings built between 1896 and 1926.

[3] The Breitmeyer-Tobin Building on Broadway Avenue, now called Harmonie Centre, opened to African-American tenants in 1936.

The east necklace of downtown links Grand Circus and the stadium area to Greektown along Broadway.
