Does anybody know what this building is?

Large Brick ? History ? Boundaries are Ferry St E , Palmer St E , Concord and Canton It is in that block across from Packard.

Birds eye shows it best Thanks.

If it's the place I'm thinking of, I believe the building housed a lumber yard. Not completely sure though.

Emma Thomas Elementary School.

Nice Thanks I did a search and came up with this ,I guess the birds eye view on the map is a bit old . http://www.detroitfunk.com/?p=4094 no relation it was just the first one to pop up in the search

The building header above the doors is engraved 1905.

I read elsewhere that the Packard plant had a school and department store and hotel when it was built but when I do a street view I really cannot see where these would have been located.
With the plant itself opening in 1903 would or could this then be the school that they are referring to?

Sorry Al we were posting at the same time .
