The War Memorial: A charming gem on the shores of Lake St. Clair
Located on the grounds of the historic Alger Estate, the charming War Memorial was built in 1910 in Italian Renaissance-style architecture. It was first the estate of the Alger family, then in the 1930s used as an art branch of the Detroit Institute of Arts and eventually in 1949, following the end of WWII, it was converted into a war memorial, dedicated to the victims of the war. Today, it also serves as a venue for concerts, wedding and special occasions, due to its charm and green gardens overlooking Lake St. Clair, making it the perfect setting for intimate and moving Candlelight concerts.
