Anchorage Television

This is a dumb one, but it's bugging me. I'm looking for where a business named ANCHORAGE TELEVISION was located in Detroit, circa 1950. I just don't have the right resources to find it. Thanks for any help.

From a 1949 phone book:

Anchorage Television Studio
13848 Grand River
VErmont 8-5400
Mobile Telephone - ask Long Distance for Mobile Operator then ask for Det WJ-6-2555

1961 phone book lists them at:

Anchorage Television Studio
18667 Warwick
KE1-3010

[[Oddly, next to their old location, was Anchorage Guest Home, 13822 Grand River)

Street view of Warwick with addition on back - maybe to accommodate the "studio"?

Mike, thanks SO much for replying. Could you please look in that 1949 book one more time for ROLLIN'S JEWELERS on Grand River? I think it was close to there.

Sorry, not seeing anything about a Rollin's or Rollin Jewelers in any late 1940s phone books. Not in 1961 either. I don't have anything from the 1950s I can check.

Thanks brother. I have a 1962 Detroit phone directory in PDF format, so if I can look up something for you sometime, let me know. It's nice to be able to search on Name, Address, or Phone Number sometimes.

Best wishes to you.
