Welcome to the board Judy.... ignore DetroitPlanner... he' knows that the child of "the other name" on the building wasn't alive in the 40s-70s...

What was your father's name?

Welcome to the forum, Judy. As this was her first post, I assumed it was just a brief introduction thread with the possibility of spurring talk about the City County Building.

So what's his name? Also, welcome, Judy!

Do we have to answer this Jeopardy style ?

Most people think the City County building was named for the government offices which occupy it. It is a little known fact that it was named after the county commisioner Wilfred "City" County, a driving force in the bringing together Detroit & Wayne for a project that I am completely making up for the sake of I don't know why, but I thought it would be fun. I'm interested in knowing who this mystery man whose name is on the City-County building is too!
