The Gleaners Temple (Now Demolished)--Detroit MI
The Gleaners Temple was a neo-classical structure built in 1910. The architect was James O'Sullivan. It served as the headquarters for the Gleaners Life Insurance Society, which had evolved from a benevolent society founded in 1894. Built of Bedford stone and with four Ionic columns at the portico, the building was purchased by Wayne State University and torn down in the late 1990s to make way for a parking lot even though it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
