The Detroit Unity Association, a branch of the global non-denominational Unity Christian organization, began constructing Unity Temple in 1951. Built in phases over five years, the structure was designed by Arnold & Fuger in the Art Deco classicism style and constructed by Jacob Strobel & Sons.

Dedicated in 1956, the temple’s opening was attended by representatives from across the country, including Lowell Fillmore, son of Unity’s founders. The expansive complex features a 1,500-seat sanctuary, classrooms, a library, a small auditorium, and a bookstore.

More on this building coming soon.
