  • 2010 Historic Preservation Awards
    2010 Historic Preservation Awards Each year, the Historic District Commission presents Historic Preservation Awards to property owners who have shown dedication to preservation by rehabilitating or maintaining their historic property. The Ann Arbor Historic District Commission’s 2010 awards were presented by Mayor John Hieftje during the June 7, 2010 City Council meeting. A reception for award recipients was held at the Hands On Museum preceding the ceremony at City Council. Rehabilitation Awards Rehabilitation Awards recognize substantial work which returns a property to a state of utility through repair or alteration. The work facilitates contemporary needs but respects the features of the property which are significant to its historic and architectural values. Awarded to: Janet Muhleman For: 310 Second Street This home is a simple 1-½ story Greek Revival with cornice returns which was built before 1853. It was moved to this site in 1898 from the southwest Corner of Liberty and Second, next door, and was the original home of the Schleicher family, local grocers. A Schleicher child’s tombstone can be seen behind the second Schleicher home at 403 W. Liberty. Owner Janet Muhleman has removed aluminum siding, restored doors and some original windows, and replaced inappropriate windows with new wood windows. It is in the Old West Side Historic District. Awarded to: Seyfried Jewelers For: 304 South Main Street In May 2009, the shop owners replaced the broken Vitrolite on the front façade with new custom made panels to match the originals.

    UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH FINDINGS V O LUME 3 1 , N U MBER 2 What It Means, Why It Matters: The Anniversary Issue INSIDE > The history gene p. 14 | Past legends, present inspiration p. 16 | From cornerstones to croissants p. 24 b FINDINGS 75 YEARS OF PUBLIC HEALT H A C H I EVEMENT In 1923, the automotive industry discovered that by adding lead to gasoline, cars could run more smoothly and economically. For the next 50 years, a strong industrial lobby helped keep lead in gasoline—despite concerns about the health risks of automotive lead exhausts—and government policymakers refrained from imposing regulations. Matters changed in 1965, with the publication of a major study showing extensive contamination of Arctic snow fields with automotive lead. Subsequent studies linked environmental exposure to automotive lead— especially in early life—with a range of metabolic disorders and developmental disabilities. SPH Professors Bertram Dinman and Jerome Nriagu contributed to critical assessments of the extent of automotive lead pollution in the U.S., and in a widely cited study in Nature in 1979, Nriagu provided the first global inventory of lead emissions to the atmosphere. In 1985, SPH biostatistician Richard Landis coauthored a paper showing links between environmental lead exposure and cardiovascular abnormalities in adult males. As a result of these and other studies, gasoline today is lead-free in practically every country in the world. What Does It Take to Change The World? 1 75 YEARS OF PUBLIC HEALT H A C H I EVEMENT SPH epidemiologist Thomas Francis Jr. conducted the clinical trials that led to his celebrated announcement in U-M’s Rackham Auditorium on April 12, 1955, that a polio vaccine developed by Jonas Salk was “safe, effective, and potent.” Francis designed and oversaw the year-long trials, which involved an unprecedented 1.8 million children during an era before computers.
