    Guardian Building National Historic Landmark (See Map Attachment D; see Figures 48-49) The Guardian Building National Historic Landmark is a monolithic forty-story, ceramic tile and brick-clad, steel-frame, skyscraper; it is an excellent example of the Art Deco style and is richly embellished with ornament indicative of that style. The property was listed in the NRHP under Criterion C as a significant example of Art Deco and skyscraper architecture designed by architect Wirt C. Rowland of the architectural firm Smith, Hinchman, and Grylls. It was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1989. Near the Guardian Building National Historic Landmark, project implementation under Design Option 2 would include installation of guideway alignments in Congress Street’s southernmost lane 15 feet north of the property and in Larned Street’s southernmost lane approximately 40 feet south of the property. The OCS, consisting of support poles and wires, would be installed in roadway rights-of-way along the alignments. No physical impacts to the Guardian Building National Historic Landmark would occur; no project activity is proposed within the property’s NRHP boundary. Therefore, no effects to the property’s integrity of location, design, materials, and workmanship would occur. Although the proposed guideway alignment and OCS would be visible from some portions of the Guardian Building National Historic Landmark, these facilities represent a minor alteration to the property’s visual urban setting. No historic views to or from the building would be obscured. Because no views would be obscured, no visual effects to the property were identified. Furthermore, based on current information, no auditory, vibratory, or atmospheric impacts were identified for these properties.

Slated for demolition in August 1984 Significance: The complex is significant on two grounds. First, it has historical associations with the Buhl family, one of Detroit's leading industrial and commercial families of the last two centuries. Second, it is an unusually ornate example of a warehouse and was designed by John Scott, a prominent Detroit architect. PART I. HISTORICAL INFORMATION A. Physical History 1. Dates of erection: The oldest and largest segments of this warehouse complex were designed by the Detroit architectural firm of John Scott & Company in 1919 and completed the following year. The principal building is a reinforced concrete L-shaped structure, with the main axis running north and south, just east of Adair Street, and an ell extending to the east along the Detroit River. The original construction includes a single-story, steel-framed building extending east and north from the six-story concrete building and attached to it.

This report includes a brief narrative, a compilation of summary statistics, and an overview of the Court’s principal activities and programs in 2005. I would like to highlight two important accomplishments in 2005: • the August transition of entrance and perimeter security at Frank Murphy Hall of Justice from a private provider to the Wayne County Sheriff, and • the successful migration of guardianship cases to the Court’s new case management system. In the first instance, the presence of uniformed law enforcement officers has clearly created a more secure courthouse facility. In the second instance, the migration of guardianship cases represents an important first step in the multi-year project to convert the Court’s three legacy systems to a single state-of-the-art system by 2008.

    City of Grosse Pointe Intensive Level Historic & Architectural Survey Wayne County December 21, 2020 Sponsored by: The City of Grosse Pointe Prepared by: Kristine M. Kidorf, Kidorf Preservation Consulting 451 E. Ferry Street, Detroit, MI 48202 313-300-9376, [email protected] and James Miller, Miller Preservation Services 4966 Toratola Lane, Howell, MI 48843 810-923-8498, [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Following up on the completion of the reconnaissance level historic and architectural survey finished in 2012, the City of Grosse Pointe commissioned an intensive level survey to determine architectural and historic integrity of select areas south of Maumee, primarily in the areas with Estate zoning that overlapped with areas identified in the 2012 survey. The survey will be used by the city to study the possibility of designating local historic districts. One hundred-and-five properties containing 156 resources were surveyed at the intensive level. There are no properties within the survey boundaries that are currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places. One property in the city, but outside of the survey area, the Lewis E. Maire Elementary School at 740 Cadieux, is listed on the State Register of Historic Sites and has a Michigan Historic Marker. It is recommended that a historic district be created of all of the surveyed properties except the ten properties surveyed on Elmsleigh, Stratford, and Wellington Place. The proposed district would include 1 and 8 Donovan Place, all of Woodland Place, Lakeland Avenue from Lake St. Clair to Maumee, all of Rathbone Place, University from Jefferson to Maumee; Washington Road from Jefferson to Maumee, and Lincoln Road from Jefferson to Maumee.

  • MDOT-Woodward Avenue Light Rail Transit Project FEIS Section 106
    Lower Woodward Avenue Historic District (See Map Attachment C; see Figure 29) The Lower Woodward Avenue Historic District is comprised of two- and three-part commercial block buildings ranging in height from four to ten stories, located along Woodward Avenue between State Street and Clifford Street. The predominant architectural style is the Chicago School with Queen Anne, Art Moderne, and International styles also represented. The district was listed in the NRHP under Criterion A for its significance as a part of Judge Augustus B. Woodward’s original 1907 plan for Detroit and under Criterion C as a collection of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century commercial buildings designed by prominent local architects. Within the Lower Woodward Avenue Historic District, project implementation would be limited to installation of the guideway alignment along the median of Woodward Avenue between Clifford Street and Grand River Avenue and along Grand River Avenue between Woodward Avenue and Shelby Street. The OCS, consisting of support poles and wires, would be installed in roadway rights-of-way along the alignment. No physical impacts to contributing properties within the Lower Woodward Avenue Historic District would occur as the guideway and OCS would be located in the roadway right-of-way; no project activity is proposed within the legal parcels of any contributing property. Rights-of-way within the district that would be affected by LRT guideway and OCS construction contain non- historic roadway materials; these features do not contribute to the historic district’s significance. Therefore, no effects to the property’s integrity of location, design, materials, and workmanship would occur.
