Discover one of Detroit’s most quietly influential spaces with a behind-the-scenes tour of the historic Jam Handy building. Originally constructed in the early 1900s as an auto showroom and later transformed into a prolific film studio, this unassuming structure played a key role in shaping American media during the 20th century. Under the direction of Henry Jamison Handy, the building became the headquarters for Jam Handy Organization—an industrial film powerhouse that created thousands of training films, commercials, and educational shorts for clients like General Motors and the U.S. military. Today, the space continues to evolve as a creative hub while preserving the spirit of innovation that defined its past. This tour offers a rare look at the building’s layered history, architectural details, and cultural impact, from Model T-era marketing to mid-century propaganda to modern-day creative reuse.
