That's a really nice picture. I bet that was one of the older firehouses at one time.
The garage pic I mean
These are great! I want X-ray vision to see into them more.

Thanks for sharing the photos. Looks like the downriver area is experiencing an ozone alert day

Wow, these are great! It's hard to find color photos of Detroit from that era-- in all the historical and coffee table books, they're all in black and white.
