Since its launch in October 1925, the Fillmore Detroit has been a major draw in Detroit’s entertainment scene. In its earlier stages, it was referred to as the State Theater. Designed by architect C. Howard Crane, the venue, stands on top of the land of the first Grand Circus Theater. Its seating capacity is around 3,000.

Across several years, the theater’s name has been changed severally. At some point between 1937 to 1949, it had a brief stint as the Palms-State Theater. This name, in particular, was borrowed from the Palms State Building, which was built by the Palms Realty Co. What’s more, it was named after Francis S. Palms, a 19th century Detroit banker and real estate tycoon.

Between the late 1950s and early 1960s, in similitude to many other landmarks in Detroit, the Palms Building got a contemporary makeover, one which made substantial alterations to its lobby and exteriors. The venue retained a deal of its original form, although the floor seating was removed as it was trainsiting from a movie house to a concert center.

In recognition of its cultural significance, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Fast-forward to 2007, prominent concert promoter Live Nation rebranded the place to The Fillmore Detroit, leveraging the much acclaimed Fillmore Theater branding.

Extensive renovations came in April 2018. The murals, scagliola pillars, and ceiling were restored. Keen attention was given to preserving the building’s architectural heritage while modernizing its amenities.
