This was once the Michigan Theater, opened in 1926.

I think this is called a proscenium. I don't know how to describe it. Here's some random architectural words from the web:

"The frieze of the elegant entablature has concentric rosettes between the bays and the cornice has both dentils and modillions. The roof parapet is solid with lush tile cartouches and arabesque foliage in panels over the windows with a central acroterian-crest."

How's that?
