Civic Centre Site – 1957

Happy Friday everyone! Happy Thanksgiving weekend too!

Today’s photo is dated March 8, 1957, the caption on the back reads as follows:

    Windsor Waterfront
    Civic Center Site
    with Baby House (scene of last Windsor-Detroit Hostilities – 1838)
    being restored is at left of pix

According to the notes on the back, this was supposed to have run in the Detroit News – March 27, 1957

Enjoy the holiday, with the long weekend, no post Monday. See you back here Wednesday.

  • You know what... I have no problem with the development of this site, sure it could have been saved for this or that.. But when will we see another high rise constructed downtown? Having a hotel on this site is far better than a parking lot!
