Then and Now – Nevin Block

The Nevin Block built in 1922, is the building to the west of the Walkerville Theatre. This photo was taken in 2001.

Here is the block in 2006 after conversion from a laundromat to a chic boutique.

  • I hate posting un-related issue's here (not sure how else to reach you) but I don't think your getting my e-mails Andrew. I sent you some newspaper clippings.

  • Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone knew the "F. Navin" of that building was Frank Navin, owner of the Detroit Tigers in the early part of the 20th century? I used to live right near that old building and always pondered that question.........

    GREAT site btw!! I've been perusing and browsing all this site has to offer for days now.
