Baseball entrepreneur G. A. Vanderbeck came from California to Detroit and secured a Western League franchise for the city. In early 1894, he hastily built a wooden park at the northwest corner of Helen and East Lafayette. Within three years, he built a larger park at Michigan and Trumbull. At present, the building occupying the space that was once Boulevard or League Park looks like a first generation auto plant.
Does any one know when that building was erected or what was produced there?
