I haven't seen this covered anywhere, my apologies if I missed it. As I'm going through the thread and seeing a lot of the Grosse Pointe pictures in particular, I'm reminded of growing up in East English Village. Of course, it wasn't called EEV back then, but the architecture strongly resembles what's found in the Grosse Pointes, but to a smaller scale. My questions? Where the Grosse Pointes and EEV area developed at the same time? Obviously, the Lakeshore area was first, but once the strip farms were plotted into streets and neighborhoods, was the building done around the same time? Where some of the same architects used? Or would some of the same firms possibly have been used, with Jr. Architects designing the smaller houses from the Senior Architect’s ideas/plans? Or were more "generic" firms used to mimic designs from the nicer neighborhoods? Do similar areas such as Boston-Edison, Palmer Park, or Indian Village also have neighboring areas that share the upscale designs in more affordable housing? Or is it all coincidence...? Thanks!
