The district is listed on the City, State and National Registers of Historic Places. The area between Woodward and Hamilton (Voigt Park Subdivision) was platted by Edward W. Voigt in 1891. This was recorded in Volume 18 of Plats, page 48, dated February 17, 1893. Voigt Park Subdivision was incorporated into the city limits in 1891 and Hamilton became the city line. In March 1908, Edward Voigt conveyed to the city a park, now known as Voigt Park. The park is located between Second and Third, Longfellow and Edison. In 1915, Detroit annexed the area between Hamilton and 12th Street (Boston Boulevard Subdivision) as well as the area from 12th Street to Linwood (Joy Farms Subdivision). The peak building period for the Boston Boulevard Subdivision was 1916 to 1919. Building peaked in the Joy Farms Subdivision between 1919 and 1925. It is likely that the building of nearby Henry Ford Hospital in 1915 influenced this development. Many doctors made their homes in this district. Early neighborhood residents included Henry Ford, four of the seven Fisher brothers, S.S. Kresge, B. Siegel, Horace Rackam, Ira Grinnell, James Couzens, Rabbi Leo Franklin, Clarence Burton and Maestro Ossip Gabrilowitsch. Today the district continues to be a vibrant residential area. People of all races and religions, with a broad variety of occupations, call Boston-Edison their home. 2019 HOLIDAYHOHOLIDAAAYY HOMEHOH MEE TOUR A WORD OF THANKS We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the 150+ dedicated volunteers who support this event as tour guides, docents or bus chaperones, as well as those who helped with check-in, hospitality, the cookie reception and all of the other tasks that make this event a success.

Graphics & Program Design by: 2019 HOLIDAYHOHOLIDAAAYY HOMEHOH MEE TOUR SACRED HEART MAJOR SEMINARY Several attempts to establish a preparatory seminary were undertaken during the nineteenth century. Success was achieved in July 1918, when Most Rev. Michael Gallagher, bishop of Detroit, announced the founding of Sacred Heart Seminary. The seminary opened in what is now Midtown Detroit, in the fall of 1919. Detroit's population was exploding and so did Sacred Heart's enrollment. In February 1923, supported by $9 million in pledges, Bishop Gallagher was able to break ground on twenty-four acres of farmland on the trolley line in the northern suburbs of Detroit, at the present site of Chicago Boulevard and Linwood Avenue. Sacred Heart Major Seminary opened the doors of its 360,000 square feet, Gothic Revival-style building in September 1924. The facility could accommodate 350 boarding and 150 day students. Detroit's own Pewabic Pottery studio designed and manufactured the ornate tiling that decorates the hallwaysyp of the first floor and in the main chapel. Todayy as then, it is one of the largestg collections of PewabicPewabic tile in thethe country.country.

Polozker, a pediatrician, is the first person to be listed as living here, according to the 1930 Detroit Directory. In 1956, James A. Brewer, a physician, and his wife Beulah were listed as residents. Beulah C. Brewer, an educator, was to become a celebrated pioneer in educational administration in the city of Detroit. Mrs. Brewer was the first African American to be promoted into a regular administrative position, as principal, at the Detroit Public Schools. Mrs. Brewer received many honors, including the 1975 Wayne State University Headline Award. She retired in September 1975 after serving DPS for 38 ½ years. Mrs. Brewer’s daughter, Sandra Wilson, returned to the home with her husband Thomas in the early 2000’s to care for her mother until her death. The current owners purchased the home from the Wilsons and have lived here for the past three years. EXTERIOR This highly eclectic house is an example of 20th Century vernacular with Tudor and Mediterranean influences. The L-shaped ground plan optimizes placement on the corner lot and is unusual in Boston-Edison. The L pattern results in front and side gables. The predominant feature is the massive two-story limestone hemi-tower with a crenellated parapet. Other Tudor features include the broad arched door, bold slate roof, and three-pot chimney. Mediterranean features include the wrought iron balconies and window grills.

    Metropolitan Detroit Medical Library Group VOLUME 35 ISSUE 4 MDMLG NEWS Summer 2009 President’s Corner with Cathy Eames MDMLG gives a scholarship to a library science student interested in medical librarianship each year. It is presented at the summer luncheon, an event that over half of the membership attends, and a time when we eat and laugh together and hear an uplifting or informational talk. It’s easy to appear positive the day the scholarship is presented, but in my mind there is an underlying current of conflict. How do we encourage students coming into www .mdmlg.org the profession when what we’re seeing around us are budget cuts, staff reductions and library closures? Christine Chastain-Warheit, chair of the MLA Hospital Library Section Inside This Issue wrote in the April National Network that she is taking inspiration from a recent Stephen Abram article in entitled “We are a Profession That 1 President’s Corner Makes a Difference.” Abram says, “Libraries matter” and “Librarians 2 Dearborn Inn change lives.” 3 Summer Luncheon In his book, Good to Great and the Social Sectors, Jim Collins writes Preview about conducting sessions with a group of healthcare executives. He asked them what needed to happen for them to build great hospitals. 4 MyDelivery The executives began talking about all the systemic problems like Medicare/Medicaid, the uninsured, fear of lawsuits, and more.

  • Growing Detroit's African-American Middle
    v GROWING DETROIT’S AFRICAN-AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A PROSPEROUS DETROIT GROWING DETROIT’S AFRICAN-AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A PROSPEROUS DETROIT Photography Tafari Stevenson-Howard 1st Printing: February 2019 GROWING DETROIT’S AFRICAN-AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A PROSPEROUS DETROIT 4 FOREWORD Foreword There’s a simple, universal concept concerning economic, social and educational growth that must be front of mind in planning about enlarging the black middle class: Authentic development and growth require deliberate investment. If we want to see more black people enter the middle class, we must invest in endeavors and interventions that lead to better- paying jobs, affordable housing, efficient transportation and effective schools. Though these amenities will attract middle- class people back to Detroit, the focus on development must be directed at uplifting a greater percentage of current residents so that they have the necessary tools to enter the middle class. Meaning, growing the black middle class in Detroit should not result from pushing low-income people out of the city. One may think a strategy to attract people back into to the city should take priority. White and middle-class flight significantly influenced the concentrations of families who make less than $50,000 in the suburbs (30 percent) and in Detroit (75 percent), according to findings in Detroit Future City’s “139 Square Miles” report. Bringing suburbanites back into the city would alter these percentages, and we most certainly want conditions that are attractive to all middle- class families. However, we also don’t want to return to the realities where the devaluing of low-income and black people hastened the flight to the suburbs.
