The Alger Theater is a theatre located at 16451 East Warren Avenue in the MorningSide neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan. It is one of only two remaining intact and unchanged neighborhood theaters in the city of Detroit (the second being the Redford Theatre).〔 It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.〔 ==History== The Alger Theater, presumably named for Michigan governor Russell A. Alger, was built by Detroit theater developers Saul and Hattie Sloan.〔 The Sloans leased the theater to Detroit theater magnate George Washington Trendle,〔 and it first opened on August 22, 1935 as a neighborhood cinema.〔(The Historic Alger Theater ) from the Friends of the Alger Theater〕 When the Alger Theater opened, it was a luxury theater, and included amenities such as sound and projection equipment, seating, and air conditioning.〔 It continued as a movie house for forty years.〔 However, as the surrounding neighborhood suffered socioeconomic changes, attendance began dropping off.〔 In the mid-nineteen seventies, ownership changed hands, and the theater was used for live performances and music in addition to movies.〔 However, the theater closed its doors in 1981. In 1984, ownership changed hands again, and the Alger was re-opened as a B-movie house.〔 However, profits were slim, and the theater closed again in less than a year.〔 In 1986, the theater was purchased by Friends of the Alger Theater, a nonprofit community-based organization composed of neighborhood residents and businesses dedicated to preserving the Alger Theater.〔(About the Friends of the Alger Theater )〕 They are developing programming for the community while raising funds to refurbish and reopen the theater.〔
