Current view- is now a Baptist church
Photo approx 1959
The Diplomat was located at 8540 2nd in Detroit. Bob Damron's 1968 guide book says "brick front-no name or number visible-nearest cross st is Pingree) It also says "Very Popular" I think there was a bath house located on State Fair later also called the Diplomat? I think these are two different places. I don't know anything about this bar, help! Please post pictures or stories.
Someone shared this link which is very interesting about early drag in Detroit:
