    Default Belle Isle Then and Now

    Lowell suggested this thread and I thought it was an excellent idea! To start the thread I thought anyone who has been to the picnic would enjoy the next 3 images. Also hats off to Kathleen and Dave for going above and beyond for today's terrific picnic!


    Shadynook comfort station near the corner of Muse & Loiter Way. Designed by J. Phillip McDonnell built in 1920. Also included is an image from the Thumb Tack Club of Detroit 1921 exhibition catalog.







    The Belle Isle Aquarium, a favorite of many on the island. Located and the corner of Inselruhe and Conservatory Drive built in 1904. Designed by Albert Kahn.



    Several images of the Aquarium from the Burton Historical Collection.










    The Bicycle Pavilion designed by Edward Schilling in 1898
