According to the website: http://lansinghistory.blogspot.com/ That is where they are located, the page shows there should be rotating displays and special events. I have e-mailed them with no response, I met with one of the trustees and never hear…

Strange you would say that about museums. I drove to Lansing last Saturday to get some photos. After which, we headed to 831 N Washington to the Lansing Historical society to see the displays. The signs said we were in the right place. It was locke…

Exactly, the stacks in the second picture could not have been south of the building. If you have the book "Through The Years" Greater Lansing Pictorial History on page 51 they show the buildings in the correct order. My project phase one is complet…

Finally can positively identify the building above, more scans and I realized this is the building from the edge of the river looking north. REO town and the sign for "The Speedwagon" are visible on the right. It is the old steam heat plant where Ot…

The fire map was found while searching online. I think it came from a Tumblr or Flicker page that had Michigan history as a theme. This one came from there also.... It is very hard to read, but helps with the changes to the streets due to "progress…

The fire report from 1934 Hotel Kerns fire (this negative is from July of 1934) suggests that it is the Central Heating Plant.

That was helpful....it is the building behind the old LSJ building. Not positive what it originally was used for. Found another view which is almost the exact angle that "Hood" posted.

Here is a building I am having trouble identifying. It appears to have had it's name on it at one time between the second and third floors. 1902 at the top, I think it was either near River Street, Grand Ave and Kalamazoo Street...or at the end of O…

The John Dye Water plant is a sight to behold inside. The murals and the art deco design in the first basins are stunning! Tile work, aluminum rails, even the lime slakers were designed with style. They didn't stay with the same style inside when i…

This is the oldest reference I can find anywhere on the Standpipe location. Thought to be looking east.

I believe they made 75 mm artillery pieces on Verlinden. Here is across the street from the plant before the war, just after The Star Auto factory closed down....The bar is now Harry's, but at the time it was The Star Café. The City Pulse just named…

Sorry, caught the horrible flu and wasn't doing any scanning work. So, pictures. This is a poster that hung in the Verlinden Street Fisher Body Plant during early World War 2. It's under archival sheeting that causes slight reflections. They (I have…

I absolutely agree it needs to be maintained better now that it is becoming a major draw for visitors to the city. I park there while visiting at the MICA Gallery and there is broken glass, litter and an overall "dirty/seedy" look that makes you wan…

View from the other side shows how nice it was compared with the surroundings at the time.

You are very welcome, sitting in boxes is not where they should be. I have the books you've listed and they have been a great resource. After posting the dam in north town pictures yesterday, I realized I left it that hanging, unfinished......the d…

No identification on the photo. I think west, due to the placement of the railroad tracks further from the river than the east view would show. The light rail tracks would go to Grand Ave. if it were facing east also, in my opinion.

One more...not mine, credit Leavenworth. His truck is parked in the photo on the right. Shiawassee St bridge construction. 1922
-
Well....back in the day....equipment and methods were just a little different.
-
No, I own them...the exceptions would be the Leavenworth's that I have. I have donated 1000's to CADL already and have tried several times to interest LHS in what I retain. As I mentioned, 15 negatives from the 4 corners area are being prepared as …

Sorry for the confusion, I had driven down Grand that morning and the only building that looked like it could be similar was the D/U building. The awnings in the Hill St. view showed me the Hotel Strand was a block north of the Strand theater that …
