Yet the body of water is not called the Detroit Strait.
Long before producing Jacques Derrida, the French named it a strait and called it a river, proving once again that confusion is a national trait.

I believe that this carriage house dates back to when Detroit was a possession of France.
Nope... Detroit switched hands from French to English in 1760. No surviving building in Detroit is older than the 1828 Trowbridge House on East Jefferson.
That image is of the McGregor Carriage House. The main house along Jefferson was razed at least 60 years ago, and the main/carriage houses dated to 1885. The architectural firm of Schervish Vogel Merz restored the carriage house back in 1981.

In addition to restaurants and bars serving lunch crowds and night life, there was plenty of industrial life in the Warehouse District including Standard Forge, Architectural Aluminum, Detroit Elevator, Central Iron Foundry, Globe Trading, and Micro Tool and Die. There was an advertising firm whose name escapes me and the offices of Tuebor and the Detroit Police Officers Association [[DPOA) on Woodbridge.

I'll always despise Archer for destroying a district I had worked & played in since 1970. A guy who was anti-casino until he slithered into the mayor's office.
There was a place called Adgravers which would do color separations for print ads. There was also a bar called Rivertown. Was in a photo shoot there for Stroh Signature beer when it was introduced.
