The Bonstelle Theatre in Detroit's Midtown Woodward Historic District was designed by Albert Kahn and built in 1902 as Temple Beth-El, a reform Jewish synagogue. Executed in the Neoclassical style, the building served its original religious congregation until 1922, when the community relocated and the structure was repurposed as a theater. Wayne State University later occupied the building until 2020. Following a comprehensive renovation, it reopened in 2025 as a multi-use events space connected to a new AC Hotel. The building was recognized on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
