The Gem Theatre is a historic movie theater building located in Detroit, Michigan. Built in 1927, it shares a lobby with the older Century Theatre next door. The National Register of Historic Places listed both theatres together in 1985 and they were relocated in 1997 to prevent demolition. The Gem now serves as a wedding venue and location for other events.
