Bricktown separates the Renaissance Center from Greektown. The area contains an eclectic mix of late 19th century architecture and early 20th century industrial buildings and warehouses. Bricktown is home to St. Peter and Paul’s Catholic Church, the oldest standing church in Detroit, and the Italian Renaissance style Wayne County Building (which was saved from demolition in the early 80’s). The Wayne County Courthouse, (which used to be located in the Wayne County Building), was the place where Mae West was once a defendant on a charge of public indecency. The Bricktown area is now seeing resurgence with the creation of lofts and the addition of the Greektown casino. Though physically it’s a tiny area, Bricktown is notable for its live music venues. Jacoby’s provides a small performance space for up & coming acts. Around the corner, St. Andrew’s Hall is a venue for nationally touring acts, as is the Shelter in the basement of St. Andrew’s.
