Today's Demolition: The University Club On E. Jefferson Is Going, Going . . .

Curbed Detroit and DetroitUrbex report the University Club is being demolished today.

Located on East Jefferson, the University Club building closed in 2008. It was extensively damaged by a fire in June.

Built in 1931, the club building was designed by William Kapp. Historic Detroit explains where things went wrong

The University Club went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1992. The YWCA then took things over until 2008, when high upkeep costs led it to abandon the building. The structure was sold two years later to the owner of a liquor store who wanted to demolish the building for a fast food joint or another liquor store.
