It was the key to distributing the Grande postcards on the street and in schools. Volunteers, mostly high-school-aged kids, would get a stack of cards to pass out, plus a free pass to the Grande for themselves. Russ Gibb, who ran the Grande Ballroom, says that this was the ticket, so to speak, to bring in the crowds. While posters in Detroit did not have the effect that posters in San Francisco had, and handbills were only somewhat better, the cards turned out to actually work best. These cards are quite rare.

  • 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. They also restored their sign as well. Seyfried Jewelers have been at this location since 1931 which is probably when the vitrolite panels were added.

Division St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church was formally organized in 1827 and the congregation originally met in member’s homes. By 1867, the congregation was able to hire pre-eminent architect Gordon Lloyd to design their Gothic Revival Church of native fi eldstone, which stands proudly today at the corner of Division and Catherine. Th e church recently completed a two-year renovation project with the services of Quinn Evans Architects. Th ey replaced the massive roof on the main church, the 1880 Chapel (Page Hall), and the 1930 Cloister with Vermont slate keeping the old chevron pat- terns. In addition, they repointed the stone work, restored the walnut and butternut pews, re-grouted and re-leaded the stained glass windows, refurbished the Pewabic fl oors, renovated the cupola and had a new fi nial made for the southeast corner of the Love Palmer Tower, and replaced the old horsehair pew cushions. Despite their downtown location, the church has a large membership of 725 families and is active within the community—primarily for its breakfast program for the homeless and indigent. We applaud their commitment to their community and to the downtown. Quinn Evans received an Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects in 2009 for the renovation of the church.
