Old First Presbyterian Church (Ecumenical Theological Seminary), Woodward Avenue, Brush Park, Midtown, Detroit, MI

            Built in 1889-1891, this Richardsonian Romanesque Revival-style building was designed by George D. Mason and Zachariah Rice to house the congregation of First Presbyterian Church.  The building was renovated in 1935 with the alteration of the Woodward Avenue and Edmund Place facades due to the widening of Woodward Avenue.  In the mid-20th Century, the building became home to the Ecumenical Theological Seminary.  The building features a rough-hewn red sandstone facade, decorative carved sculptural reliefs, a tower right a pyramidal hipped roof and corner octagonal towers with conical roofs, multiple gables, roman arched window and door bays, multi-sided and cylindrical towers, a three-story rear wing with a red brick exterior and hipped roof, three entrance bays on the Edmund Place facade, which features a checkerboard surround with decorative motifs and multi-colored stone, which was originally on the Woodward Avenue facade prior to 1935, copper flashing, and marble panels and cladding on the Woodward Avenue facade. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
