Here's a postcard picture of the Pasadena when it was newly built. Notice what a difference an intact cornice can make.
Wirt Rowland has been discussed quite often on here. One design that is usually attributed to him is Lewis Maire school in Grosse Pointe. Working on other research I came across a school history which has O'Dell & Diehl as the architects of the building. The research was done by the Grosse Pointe Historical Society. Was Rowland employed by O'Dell & Diehl at the time? Or is the GPHS' research wrong?

That's insane. I don't understand why they need to do that much tearing down. St. John has been closed for a few years, but Holy Cross is still an active parish.Although a Chicagoan John G. Stienbach designed one of the 5 churches that will be lost for the governor's greed. 2 more of the five are found in this thread under Henrik Kohner.
