Doing my ancestry, I found this address. Turns out my grandmother Agnes Lebeau lived there. My mother Louise was brought home from Florence Crittenton Hospital in 1917. I was going to post to Hall of Fame Detroit, but I couldn't do it. I guess it is private. So here I am. Sorry if this doesn't meet requirements. I live in California, miss the Michigan.
Hope to hear from someone soon.
Regards Elizabeth
All of us have connections and memories of the fabulous Detroit that once was. Now in the great diaspora that was Detroit, we see it mouldering under the dark clouds of Mordor.
If there was ever a saying I've held more than true its "Its always darkest before the Dawn" Detroit will prosper and the caldron to vitality has almost all the ingredients to a prospering future Detroit.
I don't know exactly what it is you are looking for, but here is a link you may be interested in. It's an old thread on this site.

Do you know if the address was from before 1921 or after? Detroit streets were renumbered in the early '20s. Using the newer address, Google maps puts it somewhere in right field of Comerica Park; the older address puts it around the 50 yard line of Ford Field!
She says her mother was brought home to that address in 1917, so I guess that would put it before 1921Quote:

Sadly, the home was demoed before I even knew it existed, probably sometime in the 1990s.
1953
If 187 E. Elizabeth was the address in 1917, as appears to be the case, then that was the address of the Florence Crittenton Home.
