With all the fanfare over the proposed rehabbing of the Vanity, I have a feeling other buildings such as this gem shown below will be treated like the ugly step sister. I have mixed feelings [[mostly skeptical) about the whoopla with Jefferson-Chalmers.
One observation with the National Treasure designation. The designation itself seems a bit contrived. Why wasn't the district nominated for the National Register of Historic Places? To me that is the proper designation for the district. I have a feeling that nobody was interested in doing the leg work tor the nomination, and that leaves me wondering what else they are side stepping.
Designed by Pollmar & Ropes. Monticello Ballroom 14421-14429 East Jefferson built in 1928 Jefferson-Chalmers Historic Business District Detroit, MI.
