Alfred Street, Brush Park, Detroit, 1881

The Italianate to the left, 83 Alfred St is the Hodge-Ash house, the tall one in the middle is George Jerome House. The James V. Campbell residence in the middle is the only survivor from this picture. The house on the far right that is barely showing with the Mansard roof is next to the two surviving "Mansard twins" that are also presently mothballed.

I stitched this picture together in Photoshop from two views taken at the same time that are in the Burton Collection at the Detroit Library. The left side of the Hodge house was missing in the picture and was recreated using another old but unclear real estate photo from a newspaper clipping. I wanted to get as much of the original neighborhood in the shot as possible.
