"The style and design of the new building are to be exactly similar to that of the firm of J.K. Burnham & Co., corner of Woodward and Jefferson avenue, Detroit. Mr. Loyd, the well-known architect, has the plans in preparation, and inside of a couple of weeks they will be submitted to the Messers Birrell for their approval. The building will be built of white and red brick, with stone facings, and will be one of the finest wholesale houses in America."
By the way - excellent photos, more Marine ship photos would be appreciated. Tashmoo anyone ?
