@MichiganHist @p2wy Where's that taken from and to? That's not the site of the current Crescent park, is it?
@emptywheel @MichiganHist think it's looking East up Crescent from the crest (top) of the park.
@p2wy @emptywheel I think thats right
@MichiganHist and the house has become hospital? Or @p2wy
@emptywheel @MichiganHist that whole section was rid of homes by the 50s. The last home (on Lyon) was 50ft above street grade by then.
@p2wy Not sure why I haven't quizzed you on these details in the past, which would have been obvious. @MichiganHist
@emptywheel @p2wy interesting that the homes were gone that early
@MichiganHist @emptywheel I'll look in more detail next time I'm at GRPL. The house I mentioned was alone in a 1960 aerial shot I saw.
@emptywheel @MichiganHist the park is in all the old plat maps.
@p2wy Same location, or further down the hill? @MichiganHist
