The Algiers Motel
8301 Woodward Avenue, Detroit MI 48202
On July 25 in 1967, approximately one mile east of where the Detroit riots began, three teenage civilians, all of them black, were beaten and killed by police
The motel and manor house were demolished in 1979. This was done as part of the "New Center" urban renewal project sponsored in part by General Motors. The Motel was located at 8301 Woodward Avenue, between Woodward and Virginia Park in the geographic center of Detroit.
The open space where the motel and the manor house stood is known today as Virginia Park.
