    I-375 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT: ABOVE-GROUND SURVEY AND IMPACTS EVALUATION CITY OF DETROIT, WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN Prepared for MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORATION STATE TRANSPORTATION BUILDING 425 W. OTTAWA STREET P.O. BOX 30050 LANSING, MI 48909 Prepared By COMMONWEALTH HERITAGE GROUP, INC. 2530 SPRING ARBOR ROAD JACKSON, MICHIGAN 49203-3602 Elaine H. Robinson, Senior Architectural Historian Kelly M. Hagenmaier, Principal Investigator Katie Egan-Bruhy, Ph.D., Project Manager R-1283 March 2018 i ABSTRACT The I-375 Improvement Project seeks to improve the existing freeway system connecting the downtown Detroit commercial district to the Interstate 75 (I-75) (Fisher/Chrysler) freeway via the Jefferson Avenue/I-375 business loop. Three alternatives are currently under consideration: the No-Build Alternative, Practical Alternative 4, and Practical Alternative 5. Commonwealth Heritage Group, Inc. (Commonwealth) was contracted on February 16, 2017, by HNTB Michigan, Inc. (HNTB) on behalf of the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) to provide cultural resources services in association with the Project. Specifically, Commonwealth was tasked with (1) preparing a land use history and archaeological sensitivity study that included an assessment of potential impacts to archaeological resources by each of the Practical Alternatives and the No-Build option (Hagenmaier and Lee 2017); and (2) updating and assessing impacts to historic above-ground resources, including visual effects. This report deals with above-ground cultural resources, including buildings, structures, and historic districts. Above-ground properties that have been previously identified, listed, or determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in close proximity to the Area of Potential Effects (APE) for each of the Practical Alternatives and the No-Build Alternative were researched through the Michigan State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), the City of Detroit Historic Designation Advisory Board (HDAB), and online sources.

  • MT. ELLIOTT CEMETERY a HISTORY Established 1841
    MT. ELLIOTT CEMETERY A HISTORY Established 1841 1701 Mt. Elliott Detroit, MI 48207 800-229-0048 www.mtelliott.com 1 THE HISTORY OF MT. ELLIOTT CEMETERY As wave after wave of immigrants established themselves in Detroit, they retained much of their Old World identity, often centered around their religious beliefs. When Detroit's Irish Catholic community grew large enough, it left the French-speaking parish of St. Anne Church and established its own at Trinity Church, on the northwest corner of Cadillac Square and Bates. By 1840, the growing community wanted its own cemetery. In 1841, Trinity Church member Judge Robert Thomas Elliott was authorized by Father Badin to purchase land to be used as a cemetery for the Irish parish. Elliott eventually chose 11-1/2 acres of the Leib (pronounced Libe) farm, located on the north side of Jefferson Avenue between Leib Street (named for Judge John L. Leib) and Elmwood Avenue. John L. Leib, who had come to Detroit shortly after the War of 1812, was a familiar figure to Detroiters. He had been appointed a judge of the Northwest Territory, was named Justice of the Peace in 1817, and, later, was appointed Chief Justice of the County Court. In 1817, Leib purchased 276 acres in the township of Hamtramck for $2,500 from Samuel Conant. He changed the property's name from the Peltier farm, named for previous owner Phyllis Peltier, and gave it his own. Leib's daughter, Millicent DeBlois Leib, married William Brown Hunt, brother of George Hunt. The land for neighboring Elmwood Cemetery was purchased from George Hunt.

The survey also included a parcel of downtown Detroit bound by Monroe Street to the north, East Jefferson Avenue to the south, the Chrysler Freeway to the east, and Brush Street to the west. Project Information: The Historic American Engineering Record (HAER), a division of the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, was contracted by MotorCities Automotive National Heritage Area of Detroit in 2002 to conduct an architectural survey of Detroit’s east riverfront in order to determine the area’s significance in the automotive heritage of Detroit. Richard O’Connor, HAER, served as project manager. Field team members included Rebecca Howell and Laura Janssen. Justine Christianson, HAER Historian, prepared the documentation for transmittal. The survey’s methodological goal was to assess the present nature of the district and to determine which extant buildings had connections to the automotive history of Detroit. Four categories were established: industrial structures built prior to 1920, structures with automotive connections up to the present, buildings designed by architect Albert Kahn, and saloons and social clubs.
