What is his name and where did he work in the City County Bldg?
Coleman Young Junior have you been drinking again?
Welcome to the board Judy.... ignore DetroitPlanner... he' knows that the child of "the other name" on the building wasn't alive in the 40s-70s...
What was your father's name?
Welcome to the forum, Judy. As this was her first post, I assumed it was just a brief introduction thread with the possibility of spurring talk about the City County Building.
So what's his name? Also, welcome, Judy!

Who was Van Antwerp?
Most people think the City County building was named for the government offices which occupy it. It is a little known fact that it was named after the county commisioner Wilfred "City" County, a driving force in the bringing together Detroit & Wayne for a project that I am completely making up for the sake of I don't know why, but I thought it would be fun. I'm interested in knowing who this mystery man whose name is on the City-County building is too!
Eugene Ignatius Van Antwerp, city council member & one-term mayor [[2 year) before Cobo.Quote:
