1950's Detroit Trolley Street Scene Chevrolet 6 Mile and Woodward Uptown theater 4x 6 Paul Adams Signed Print Matted and Framed. Overall with Frame 11 x 14
Located in the Highland Park district of Detroit. Opened on March 7, 1927 for RKO, the Uptown Theatre was designed to as a sister theatre to the downtown Oriental Theatre.
It was originally a venue for vaudeville, but later switched to movies and contained a large organ. The Uptown Theatre was, like the Oriental Theatre, designed by architect of Percival R. Periera.
Renamed the 6 Mile Uptown Theatre (for its location at Woodward Avenue and 6 Mile Road in Highland Park) in 1954, the Uptown Part of the name was dropped five years later.
Starting in the early-1970’s, it switched from movies to live strip shows, and later that decade, pornographic films.
After it closed in 1980, plans were laid to convert the 6 Mile Theatre into a playhouse called the Eighties. However, this idea came to naught, since it was razed by the late-1980’s.
