Former Woodward Avenue Presbyterian Church, 8501 Woodward Avenue--Detroit MI

            The former Woodward Avenue Presbyterian Church survives, if not as an active congregation, at least as a historical artifact of the time this section of the avenue was considered "north," and the area was known as "Piety Hill."

This English Gothic structure was designed by Sidney Rose Badgley (noted for several Cleveland-area churches) and built on land donated by Katherine Whitney McGregor.
