I was in the area today so I had to get a picture of the Pink Hotel/Western House/Brighton Hotel. It was built in 1873 but could be getting demolished for a new 4-story building. Random shot

Great thread, I really like Maysville.

So many great homes!

Wilcox House- inventor of the BB Gun and co-founder of Daisy Air Rifles lived here. Former Bell Telephone Company, built 1926

Sears and Roebuck and Company Warehouse- built 1901 Another warehouse not too far away Fairgrove Historic District- circa 1900-1915 Going downtown... Franklin Boulevard Historic District "Built between 1845 and 1930, this neighborhood of 93 structures remains a turn-of-the-century appearance with its mix of Greek Revival Italianate, Queen Anne, Stick style and Colonial Revival architecture. During Michigan's early period of industrial growth (1880-1920), prominent leaders of Michigan's timber, mining, publishing, carriage and automobile industries made their homes in this area. Most notably, the 1848 Italian Villa style Myrick-Palmer House located at 223 West Huron Street was home to Charles H. Palmer, a nineteenth-century educator and copper miner. Also significant was 269 West Huron Street, home to Oliver Leo Beaudette, whose father founded the O.J. Beaudette Body Co., believed to be the first to use metal on automobiles." Other places Casa del Ray Apartments- 1928

Thanks for all the info guys. DaninDC, I actually live in metro Detroit. Do you think it would be hard to find a job up here?

I made this thread for people to post pictures they have of any train stations in the world. Ann Arbor, MI- 1886 Chelsea, MI- 1880 Clio, MI- 1873 Detroit, MI- 1913 East Jordan, MI Grayling, MI- 1882 Howell, MI- 1872 Petoskey, MI Romulus, MI Sylvania, OH Tecumseh, MI Ypsilanti, MI- 1878

Recently I've been considering switching my major (criminal justice) to architecture or urban planning but have decided against it. Now I've been looking up information on historic preservation and it seems really interesting. But do you think it would be easy to find a job? Has anyone else majored in this?

UA huh? Bring back fun memories, Hayward? lol

The Thompson Block is being renovated. It will have 16 luxury lofts and retail. It should be completed by fall 2007.

Thanks, I never get tired of these Pittsburgh neighborhoods.

Lenawee County has a population of about 102,000. So far I’ve only been to Adrian, Tecumseh and Britton, I still have to go to Cement City, Onsted (been to Stagecoach Stop USA though), Addison, Hudson, Clayton, Blissfield and Morenci. Adrian (21,574) Siena Heights University Tecumseh (8,574) Britton (699)

After looking at the Milan, OH pics I can't argue with you there. Looks like a nice lil place.

Don't think I've seen any pictures from Milan, OH. Do you have any?

Come on guys, I got more replies when I made a thread for every city. You know you don't want that many threads for such small places!

Monroe County has a population of about 145,000. I've already posted pictures from Monroe which can be seen here: http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php?topic=11046.0 Milan (4,775; in both Washtenaw and Monroe Counties) Dundee (3,522) Carleton (2,562) Petersburg (1,167)

I have so many pictures from Michigan towns that I'm not going to bother making threads for every one. Instead I will just go by county. I've always liked Livingston County, kinda rural but has some great little towns also, the best being Howell. There are a few places in Livingston County I still want to hit up so by making this thread I can just add them on. If you have pictures from any of the counties I am making threads for then feel free to add them in. I will put the cities in order by my favorites. The number in parenthesis is the cities population. Howell (9,315) Downtown Howell is a historic district. It has a reputation for not liking blacks, a while back they sold a Klan suit at an auction. It doesn't help that all townships and cities in Livingston County are between 95 and 98 percent white (if I remember correctly). Brighton (6,904) During the summer I am always going to Brighton to feed the ducks and geese in the lake downtown with my girlfriend. Fowlerville (3,072) Pinckney (2,362) Hamburg Hell These were taken during the 666 party (June 6, 2006) ^Could the Atheists people be any funnier looking?

That's on top of the war memorial

Awesome!

Here is another downriver town with a population of about 10,000.

Recently I finished up exploring all of the downriver cities that I haven't been to. Wyandotte is easily the best. North of downtown there are MANY beautiful homes that I didn't get pictures of but I will sometime when I go back. I will also be getting pictures of Ecorse when I go back. Wyandotte has a population of about 28,000.

Manchester is a village of about 2,160 in Washtenaw County. "Manchester Township Library In 1838, one year after Michigan attained statehood, Manchester Township established its library, one of the first township libraries in Michigan. During the early years the township clerk maintained the collection. In 1900 the township decided to rent quarters for the library and to hire a librarian. It was housed in various locations including the Mahrle Building on Adrian Street. In 1934 the township purchased the former James A. Lynch house as a permanent location." "Saint Mary Church The first Catholic church in the Manchester area was built by German settlers in Freedom Township in 1839 and dedicated to Saint Francis de Borgia. In 1863, Father Edward Van Lauwe was appointed pastor of Saint Dominic in Clinton, and Manchester was one of his missions. In 1870 thirty-five Irish families built the Church of Assumption on Macomb Street in Manchester. Father Edwin Fisher, pastor of Clinton and its missions, became resident pastor at Manchester in 1909. In 1911 local craftsmen built this Neo-Gothic-inspired church from fieldstones collected by farmers and salvaged from the foundation of the hotel that stood on the site. It was dedicated in January 1912. Father Fisher designed the church and created similar fieldstone churches at his missions in Blissfield, Tecumseh and Brooklyn." "The German Church Many of Manchester's early settlers came from Wittenberg, Germany. Since there was no Evangelical church in Manchester, the immigrants worshipped at Bethel Church in Freedom Township. In 1862 the Reverend J. G. Hildner established an Evangelical congregation in Manchester. Services were conducted in German and held in houses until the congregation purchased an unused school in the 1870s. The Reverend S. Edelstein became the first resident pastor. In early 1882 the congregation purchased an entire city block and the present Gothic Revival church, designed by Detroit architect Carl Schmid, was built and named The Immanuel United Evangelical Church. In 1936 the congregation joined the Evangelical and Reformed Church and it became part of the United Church of Christ in the early 1960's."

Yep it does.

Clinton is a village of about 2,300 in Lenawee County. "Clinton Woolen Mill The Clinton Woolen Mill was a vital part of the economy of this area for over 90 years. Clinton's original mill was completed in 1867 at a cost of $95,000. Fire destroyed that structure in 1886. In less than a year, the mill was back in operation in the present building, the second to be erected here. The mill had the necessary equipment and skilled workers for complex dye processing. One of the last woolen mills in the area, this company discontinued operations in 1957."

Great shots, that 3rd pic is incredible. I think I'm going to make a trip down to Cleveland this spring.
