23. An outdoor SYMPHONY SHELL, between Loiter Way and Lake Takoma, is used in summer for band and orchestral concerts, for native-dance programs offered by Detroit's racial groups, and occasionally for dramatic productions, all present free of charge (see Music and the Theater). The largest audiences are probably those attracted by Easter sunrise services, sponsored annually by the Detroit News. -Michigan: A Guide to the Wolverine State 1941
According to my research the symphony shell from the guide was replaced in 1950 by the
Remick Bandshell which is still standing today but has not held a performance for over 40 years and is in very bad shape. It was named for
Jerome H. Remick who was born in Detroit in 1867. Pictures of the original structure can be found here:
