What's the story on this little building?
I got rained out at the Tigers game yesterday so decided to walk around for a bit. I wanted to take some pictures of the Fine Arts Building before it gets razed. After I was done I realized I'd never walked around Elizabeth, so I strolled down the street and found this little building across the street from the Bucharest Grill. Anybody know what this place was used for?

The parking was indoors, entered off the alley in the warehouse portion of the building. I remember a couple of guys that worked in the buying offices at J. L. Hudson's living there for a time after the McInerneys quit using the building and if memory serves me moved to Florida. Lots of Hudson people lived in apartments like the Blenhiem and thered sandstone building that was at Park and Montcalm, next to the Detroit Insurance bldg...right behind the Fox. I remember seeing a photo of the construction of the State Theatre and office bldg and that building was there, so it predates 1925. That area was interesting, and seemed to hang on a little longer than other areas to the north and east. there was a small apartment building right behind the stage wall of the Fox on south side of the building that had a restaurant that served middle eastern food, quite good as I remember although I can't remember the name.
Hi Detroit Bob— I would love to learn more. My Great Grandpa Faltis ran a poultry/meat business there. I think after he died, it must have went to the McInerney family, who I think was the husband of my Great Grandpa’s sister. Thanks!!
