Begin with a summary paragraph that briefly describes the general characteristics of the property, such as its location, type, style, method of construction, setting, size, and significant features. Indicate whether the property has historic integrity.) ______________________________________________________________________________ Summary Paragraph The City of Wayland is located in the southwest portion of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, approximately fifteen miles south of Grand Rapids, twenty-five miles north of Kalamazoo, and thirty miles east of Lake Michigan. United States Route 131 (US-131) forms the western boundary of the current city limits. The Wayland Downtown Historic District comprises Wayland’s historic central business district, and is located in the east-central portion of the current city. The downtown served as the central business district for the City of Wayland and Section 7 page 4 the surrounding area beginning around 1854, which predates the period of significance, through about 1960, as business gravitated to the US-131 corridor west of the city. The district extends outward from the intersection of Main Street and Superior Street: northward along North Main nearly to Maple Street, southward along South Main to Pine Street, eastward along East Superior to Forrest Street, and westward along West Superior nearly to Church Street. Its north-south axis is approximately seven-hundred feet and the east-west axis about eight-hundred feet, encompassing an area of c. five acres. This is the city’s traditional downtown, much of it occupied by one- and two-story commercial blocks standing in rows along the sidewalk line, but also including the Richardsonian Romanesque Henika Library. The downtown’s character is framed by its typically brick buildings, but there is also some variety of styles, materials, and architectural details. These buildings present today represent the commercial and social heart of Wayland from the early 1880s through 1960. The thirty-five buildings in the district include twenty-nine buildings that Contribute to the historic district, and six that do not contribute to the historical significance and associations of the historic district because of insensitive renovations. Thus, over eighty percent of the inventoried buildings are historic properties. To the north of the district are several insensitively renovated commercial buildings, a recent-vintage gas station, and expanses of asphalt parking lots. To the east of the district are residential blocks, to the south more residential blocks, and to the west is modern commercial development as well as churches and schools. ______________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description Setting and Physical Characteristics The Wayland Downtown Historic District is located in the central portion of the city, which has grown outward from this core area. The “four corners” created by the intersection of Main and Superior streets is the historic center of the business district. Commercial buildings line the South Main and West Superior streets most densely to the west and south of this intersection, but are less consistent to the east and north, with gaps in the streetscape along the east side of North Main and north side of East Superior. East Superior Street has the least densely-developed streetscape, while West Superior Street has several historic rehabilitation projects in progress and is bounded by the Wayland Fire and Police Department to the west. North Main Street is less consistently occupied by commercial buildings, but South Main Street boasts the highest volume of original structures still remaining and includes to the southeast the Henika District Library and its unique, fieldstone, Romanesque style of architecture. In recent times the commercial district has gravitated to the west, primarily in strip development and fast food franchises in the blocks approaching the east side interchange with US-131. Downtown Wayland has been markedly shaped by a series of fires that occurred in the late 1800s and early 1900s. These fires impacted the development of the city, which is evident in the number of one-story buildings along both Superior and Main Streets, and in the absence of buildings along the south side of West Superior Street. The first large fire in 1881 destroyed a row of buildings on the west side of North Main Street

  • Mike Connell: 'Hard Work and Ever at It'
    Page 1 of 3 October 5, 2013 Mike Connell: 'Hard work and ever at it' The big questions Mike If you were making a list of the most influential women from St. Clair County, you might begin with a premature baby born in a log cabin in Columbus Township nearly 150 years ago. That would be Sabina May West Miller, or more simply, Bina. With considerable genius and an indefatigable work ethic, Bina combined a deeply felt sense of humanity with shrewd marketing skills to create one of Port Huron’s bedrock private institutions, the not-for-profit Woman’s Life Insurance Society. Along the way, she gave the city one of its finest buildings as well as one of its most beautiful homes. The summer camp she founded on the shores of Lake Huron is now a state park. Thousands of families owe her a debt of gratitude for help in their times of need. Indeed, the good works she started 121 years ago this month continue to benefit this community, and many others like it, each and every day. I HAVE BEEN familiar with Woman’s Life for many years, and I have witnessed scores of community- betterment projects undertaken by its chapters, but I’ll admit that I long wondered about its basic structure. Was it a private business, and if so, why did it sponsor an elaborate network of charitable groups? In search of an answer, I called upon Karen Deschaine, the manager of communications. Woman’s Life, she explained, is a fraternal benefit society, one of 75 or so across the nation.
