Who
lived where and when? Where was a business and when? This database
contains that information. It will always be a work in progress.
I have started with the 48879 zip code and add others as I find them.
You have search capabilities for a NAME, POSTAL/HOUSE NUMBER, or STREET
NAME. The SOURCE column key consists of: Census records (C), City/County documents (CD), City directories (D), Death Certificates (DC), History book (HB), Miscellaneous (M), Newspaper (N), Photo (P), Plat map (PM), Sanborn map (SM). The PROPERTY TYPE column key consists of: Apartment (A), Business (B), City/County Office (C), Church (CH), Hospital (H), Park (P), Trailer park (TP), Residence (R), School (S). If the STREET name has an * after it, that means at some point the name was changed. That column key is: BARKER became BAKER BRECKENRIDGE (W of Lansing St.) became W. BALDWIN CLINTON ST. (W of Lansing St.) became W MCCONNELL ELLA (W of Lansing St.) became DIBBLE and then PARK GIBBS AVE. became GILES ST.

House/business numbers will/can change over the years because of new properties being added to the area. In 1949 North Clinton Avenue "down town" changed from 2 digit numbers to 3 digit numbers. These are based on the individual buildings. Some stores used 2 buildings with only 1 address number. Here are the before and after numbers: |
