I owe my deepest gratitude to the institutions from whose collections we borrowed objects for inclusion in this exhibition. My heartfelt thanks goes out to Leslie Edwards, Robbie Terman, and Laurie Kay at the Cranbrook Archives; Roberta Frey Gilboe at the Cranbrook Art Museum; David Schneider and Tracy Irwin at the Detroit Historical Museum; Jim Joyce at the Friedman Real Estate Group; Meredith Long at Meadow Brook Hall; and Jan Durecki at the Rabbi Leo M.

Thank you also to the numerous archives, museums, historical societies and libraries throughout the state and the country who granted permission for the museum to use their photographs in the exhibition. Additionally, I would like to express my gratitude to the Flickr photographers who generously allowed the museum to include their photographs in the exhibition. It has been a pleasure to work with all of you. I wish to thank Tawny Ryan Nelb for her insightful essay that appears in this catalog. John Gallagher, Architecture Critic and Urban Development Writer at the Detroit Free Press, and Jennifer Baross, Partner, Destination Detroit Media, were gracious in accepting the museum’s invitation to give lectures during the course of the exhibition.
