Gary's population is about 102,000. I heard it has some nice buildings but loads of abandonment. I would love to see someone's photos of Gary.

I love looking at old pics of towns so I thought I'd post them for you guys to see. Battle Creek Kalamazoo 1910 1910 1940 1920 South Haven 1920 1910 1910

Who's going to Winter Blast? I plan on taking a friend there since I get off work early on the 10th.

St. Patrick's Church in Northfield Township, built 1878.

I like the St. John's picture, Lmichigan. I went there a long time ago with my mom but didn't take the camera.

Here is another Canton home on the verge of demolition. I don't really know any information on this house but I plan on hiting up the Historical Society for some. You can't tell because of where I took this pic but a new house was built directly behind it so that is why it's being demolished.

Nice shots, SBC. I especially like the cemetery one.

My mom was actually looking up stuff online to do in Grand Rapids and saw Meijer Gardens, thanks tho!

Greek Revival definately was very popular. Out of the 9 19th century Canton homes I have researched, only 2 are not Greek Revival.

The next few days I am going to post pictures of old houses in danger of demolition. Here is the David & Elizabeth Bell Boldman House This early house was built about 1840-1845 by David Boldman. This house is very unusual because of its shape, which is called the "Basilica" form of the Greek Revival, unique to Michigan. This form has also been known as "hen and chicks" as it resembles a hen with spread wings to shelter her little chicks. This style of Greek Revival was quite prominent in Canton, but is the last of its kind left in the township. It has a higher central portion with two lower "wings." The front facade is dominated by a full-height entry porch with a triangular pediment. This type of porch is unusual in the North. According to the 1876 atlas, there was a cheese factory on the site, remnants of which can be seen south of the house. The house remained in the Boldman family until 1944. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Place in June 2000.

I rarely post in this forum but you guys might remember the thread of GR pics I posted when I went there for the first time this past August. Anyways, my mom wants to go back to GR again this summer. Can't wait!
