Homes of Indian Village, Detroit, MI 48214 - 2

Indian Village is a historic, affluent neighborhood located on Detroit's east side, bound to the north and south by Mack Avenue and East Jefferson Avenue, respectively, along the streets of Burns, Iroquois, and Seminole. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. 

The district has a number of architecturally-significant homes built in the early 20th century. A number of the houses have been substantially restored, and many others well kept up. Bordering Indian Village to the west is West Village, with additional historic homes, townhouses and apartments.

Many of the homes were built by prominent architects, such as Albert Kahn, Louis Kamper and William Stratton, for some of the area's most prominent citizens, such as Edsel Ford. A lot of homes are very large, with some over 12,000 square feet. Many have a carriage house, with some of those being larger than an average suburban home. Some of the houses also have large amounts of Pewabic Pottery tiles. 

Indian Village has very active community organizations, including the Indian Village Association, Men's Garden Club & Women's Garden Club. The neighborhood hosts an annual Home & Garden Tour the first Saturday of June, a neighborhood yard sales in September, a holiday home tour in December, and many other community events. The neighborhood contains many historic homes including that of automotive entrepreneur Henry Leland, founder of Lincoln and Cadillac, who resided at 1052 Seminole St.

After the rain in Columbia, TN

The rain broke for a couple hours so I drove around Columbia, TN.

This is the Columbia Motor Alley, east of Nashville Hwy and a couple blocks south of the Maury County Courthouse.

And just to the left is the Texaco Star. 

I crossed over to the west side of Nashville Hwy. Here's a couple views of a home with some interesting walls.

Looking up at a church.

And a beautiful, stone chimney on the side of this home.

Indian Village, Detroit

I was looking through some photos I took in Indian Village, Detroit back in 2012. I never uploaded them to my old site Prior to Before - a photoblog of Detroit.

Indian Village is an upscale neighborhood of historic homes close to downtown Detroit and the Detroit River. One of these houses is on Seminole, the other is on Iroquois.

A couple interesting homes with nice color.
