Southofbloor, your pictures of houses in Detroit's historic neighborhoods are some of the best that I've seen posted on the internet. Please keep them coming.

I don't know who designed this house; but before it was aluminum-sided, the upper floors were sided with cedar shakes. Additionally, the 3rd floor corner windows were leaded stained glass.


The house on the left edge of your picture was clad in clapboard before it too was aluminum-sided.


IMO, the couple of blocks of Atkinson between Woodward and Third contain some of the most architecturally interesting houses in that area of Detroit. Building began close to Woodward ~1900 and most of the houses were built by the start of the 1st World War.
