Studio 4 ceased to exist as of this afternoon 4-26-22. The façade was there when I went in for a hair cut and gone when I cam out
This neat little building has a large “4” on it’s side, indicating the past occupation of the Studio 4 arthouse. Inside the building, you can still see the theater’s beautifully curved auditorium as it now contains Roche Bobois, a high-end furniture store that caters to the wealthy residents of this Detroit suburb.
December 16th, 1970 grand opening ad in photo section.
That would be about right. It was a small single screen theatre.
I worked as projectionist at the Studio 4 from 1975-77. It was a small art house that showed mainly foreign films. It’s business went to the newly constructed Maple theatres nearby. The owner/operators also ran the studio north theatre in Ferndale, an adult theatre. The coup-de-grace to the Four was their attempt to change the bill of fare at the Four to porn, something the city of Birmingham would not tolerate (Birmingham is a very upscale community).
