The high rise 2643 Park Avenue, the Park Avenue Hotel, was a hotel in the Cass Corridor of Detroit, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1] It was also known as Salvation Army Harbor Light Center and is not to be confused with Park Avenue House, also once known as Park Avenue Hotel. The building was imploded on July 11, 2015.[2]

Significance

The Park Avenue was one of three former hotels located on Park Avenue and designed by Louis Kamper[3] for Lew Tuller;[4] the other two are the Eddystone at 100 Sproat St. (across Sproat from the Park Avenue Hotel) and the Royal Palm at 2305 Park Avenue which now operates as the Park Avenue House. All three were on the National Register of Historic Places, and the city council designated the property a municipal historic district in 2006.[5]

Current use

At one time, the Park Avenue was used by the Salvation Army as their Harbor Light Center homeless shelter.[6] Operations were moved in 2007, and the Salvation Army planned to sell the building to a developer. However, those plans fell through.[6]

The building was acquired by the development arm of Olympia Entertainment and the Detroit Historic District Commission approved its demolition to make room for the loading dock for Little Caesars Arena, which will become the home of the Detroit Red Wings.[7] It was imploded on July 11, 2015.[2]
