Thanks, guys!

Nice looking building, rjlj, but location, location, location. :[[

I had someone do me a write-up for HistoricDetroit.org on a house, but he knows only that it was demolished when Mack Avenue was put in. Having a hard time finding it and no time to go to the Burton...

Ate there the other day for lunch. The sammich was tasty, albeit $7, so a tad high for this broke-ass Detroiter for lunch. Only real complaint is that the menu is decidedly NOT vegetarian-friendly....

Anyone know when it came down?

Looks like it was gone by the 1980s. Not much about this gal. Built in 1923-24 at Columbia and John R. She was a 450-room Italian Renaissance number. Don't suppose...

I second the recommendation of Kim Berg.
