Bonstelle Theatre
The Bonstelle Theatre is an events space and former synagogue located in the Midtown Woodward Historic District of Detroit, Michigan. It was built in 1902 as the Temple Beth-El, a synagogue serving the eponymous reform Jewish congregation, by Albert Kahn. After the construction of a new synagogue in 1922, the building became a theater, which was eventually sold to Wayne State University, which occupied it until 2020. After a thorough renovation, the building was converted to an multi-use event space attached to a new AC Hotel in 2025. The building, as Temple Beth-El, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
