Study Club fire
The Study Club fire killed 22 people and injured over 50 in a Detroit, Michigan dance hall on September 20, 1929.
The club was located in the old theater district, along East Vernor Highway, in Detroit. Until the fire, the Study Club operated as a speakeasy nightclub, where alcohol was being illegally sold during Prohibition. The fire is a historic case study of disasters in nightclubs, specifically dealing with hazards of flammable materials.
==Prohibition==
The Study night club was not a typical nightclub by modern standards. It consisted of three floors of varied usage and was constructed from a three story retrofitted mansion. The first floor was a kitchen, and the second floor was a restaurant and dance floor. During the 1920s and early 1930s Prohibition was the law of the land in the United States, and banned the sale, transportation, and possession of alcohol. The Study Club was widely known to serve alcohol illegally. The Study Club operated under the principle that ''everything was fixed'' (which implied law enforcement non- interference with the selling of alcohol). Police officers were indeed consistent club patrons and allowed the club to operate in illegal premises.〔
