Digging this one up again… Hudson's produced a line maybe in the 80's that included the Grand Hotel on Mackinac, a Hudson's Building [[I think), the Ren Cen above and the Penobscot here. Found this...

Detroiters, being card carrying members of the French Canadian catholic diaspora, should note that cursing doesn't become cogent persuasion until it involves the liturgy [[tabernac!) - Instruction...

Bob Cosgrove was generous with his archive and knowledge. Cheers to a great citizen who cared a great deal about Detroit and its history.

You're welcome - Ben has a page documenting the buildings that he has traced to Hunter. https://www.facebook.com/benjamin.gravel.71/media_set?set=a.228684803846402.50321.100001146515382&type=3

Benjamin Gravel traced it to architect Samuel K. Colton from Chicago - hopefully this link works.

I used to think like that when I was younger. Then I came to realize that some christians aren't good role models, came to terms with the fact that the way I was made was as a gay person, and made...

There is nothing in it on gay issues. He speaks to pluralism and respecting diversity on our planet. Have to say that Kahn is the leader I would most like to emulate. Was good to see Canadian leaders...

Hear hear. Detroit has reinvented itself many times over its 3 century history and it will again. This region is strategically situated and if you look at the universities and colleges in the...

Cheers sir! And I respect yours. Similarly I don't hold every Christian responsible for the toxic power hungry platforms of Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and Newt Gingrich, though I do goad my Baptist...

I like this, and love that the Nain Rouge myth is being played with. I don't remember much being said about this particular devil though from when I was a kid - is there a direct tie between the...

There are many members of my family who have serious trouble with my 24 year relationship with my partner. But they love us and we love them despite that.

I do have trouble though with people...

We're doing a similar project in Toronto right now - 6 adjacent townhouses with probably slightly bigger square footage in total that had weathered 30 years of dereliction - fires, roof cave-ins,...

Thanks for this. I was raised in the very conservative Plymouth Brethren and it took a long time to get through coming out and relaxing about the knowledge that I was gay, despite what I had been...

That makes sense ESA -

I don't understand the square bump in the middle of the south side of the 1896 Baist's atlas footprint. The bump doesn't correspond with the Sandborn map which is detailed...

This is the site in 1896 - the Scott mansion is the yellow building at the corner of Peterboro and Park. The house is said to be 1887 but if that is the case then it was originally built as a wood...

Will pull out 1897 Baist's at work tomorrow to check the footprint.

Gistok - the east bay is not original [[it isn't in the earliest photo) and my suspicion is that the third floor of the wall extending south from the north west tower isn't either. I think all of the...

In 1983 before the gable started to collapse:

- Langdon hall spa for an overnight - http://www.langdonhall.ca/Home
- Niagara On The Lake - beautiful historic town with great restaurants.
- Stratford has great performing arts [[sorry about the...

Another weirdly beautiful house on a great street in Highland Park. The kids growing up down the street apparently called it "The old lady with the hat". Moss Street, in the Medbury's-Grove Lawn...

Yes have been thinking that we need to rally our mighty Canadian military and recapture the city. Detroit Ontario Canada has a nice ring to it. But we would have to really work on the conspicuous...

I wondered that too…

Great - good for him. The illegal scrapping industry has made it very difficult for Detroit to get back on its feet again. I don't understand why scrappers and more importantly scrap dealers have...

Fieldstone is likely more correct - in Windsor we called it cobblestone but that doesn't seem accurate now that I think about it. Wonder who owns it now. Interesting thread on HP - streets like...

Would there be a pay raise? ~rubbing hands with glee~
