Daniel Sullivan was born on June 26, 1867 in Detroit to Daniel and Julia Sullivan. He attended the city’s schools as well as the Detroit Business University. In 1887, at age 20, young Daniel began working for his father's coal and coke business. The junior Sullivan would spend 47 years with the firm, eventually becoming president, after his father's passing. On October 6, 1890, Sullivan married Catherine Thompson. Ms. Thompson was the sister of William B. Thompson, Mayor of Detroit (1907-09, 1911-13). The couple had 2 daughters, Catherine and Frances. A building permit was issued on June 3, 1898 for a home on a corner lot at Avery and Calumet streets. The builder was Stephen Linder. The home is the epitome of American Queen Anne architecture. The Sullivan family lived here from 1899 to 1918. In 1919, Mr. Sullivan relocated to 424 (1530) West Boston Boulevard, where he spent the remainder of his life. Daniel Sullivan died February 11, 1934, at the age of 66. In 2012, the Sullivan residence became the headquarters of Icrontic. Founded in 2000, Icrontic is a website that covers technology, gaming and Internet culture. #Detroit #Westside #WoodbridgeHistoricDistrict #WoodbridgeDetroit #QueenAnne #VictorianArchitecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_the_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter (at Woodbridge Neighborhood) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpFw5dJL8F-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The iconic Second Empire mansion at 3966 Trumbull Avenue has a long, varied history. Built in 1875, it was part of the Hodges Brothers Woodbridge Farm development. During most of the 20th century, it was a hospital in one form or another, first as a maternity hospital (Marr), then as a general hospital (Trumbull General). In the 1950s, Trumbull General Hospital became a hospital for Detroit’s black community, at the height of segregation in this country. After being vacant and rundown for decades, the home was renovated and converted to apartment. In 2016, the property made news internationally when it was purchased by legendary pro skater, Tony Hawk. Included are photos from Detroit Street View on Twitter. #Detroit #Westside #WoodbridgeFarm #WoodbridgeHistoricDistrict #WoodbridgeDetroit #TrumbullAve #SecondEmpire #VictorianArchitecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #MansardMonday #TheAmericanHome #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter (at Woodbridge Neighborhood) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkqffmvrU4-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

From afar, 4759 Trumbull looks like any other of Victorian home in the historic Woodbridge neighborhood. But a closer look reveals much more. This isn’t just any house, no my friends - this is the Lorax House, that’s right, the Lorax House, inspired by Dr. Seuss’ classic 1971 children’s book about an environmentally-conscious creature that speaks for the beautiful Truffula trees and tries to shield them from corporate greed, namely the Once-Ler. Just a few years ago, this house was a dilapidated mess. That all changed in 2012, when Alex Pereira, a Bolivian immigrant, purchased it at a Wayne County tax auction. Pereira, who came to the United States when he was nine, says that he learned to speak English by reading Dr. Seuss. Pereira’s aim was not only to preserve a home, but also offer a glimpse of hope, particularly in Detroit’s war against blight. Years of vacancy and extreme deterioration had done a number on the interior, which had to be gutted and completely rebuilt. The young real estate developer hired a chainsaw artist as well as a muralist to help make The Lorax House a reality. The renovated home is energy efficient, offering 3 one-bedroom units, a studio and live-work space with an attached commercial art gallery. #Detroit #Westside #Westside #WoodbridgeDetroit #QueenAnne #VictorianArchitecture #TrumbullAvenue #TrumbullAve #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter #DrSeuss #TheLorax #LoraxHouse (at Woodbridge, Detroit) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8dGb6bl9Yz/?igshid=1wsalnebt9pgc

Arguably Woodbridge's signature home, the William Northwood House (also known as the Northwood-Hunter House) at 3985 Trumbull (corner of W. Alexandrine) was built in 1891. It is an eclectic hybrid of Queen Anne, Châteauesque and Second Empire styles. William Northwood was co-founder of the Howard-Northwood Malt Manufacturing Company. More recently, the home served as a bed and breakfast known as the Woodbridge Star. #Detroit #Westside #WoodbridgeDetroit #QueenAnne #Chateauesque #SecondEmpire #FrenchRenaissanceRevival #VictorianArchitecture #TrumbullAvenue #TrumbullAve #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter (at Hunter House (Detroit, Michigan)) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt1lkB6gPvD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10vaz6384i6v7

It took to mid-January, but it's finally happened. Southeast Michigan has finally gotten its first big snowfall of the season. The response to 4203 Trumbull last week was more than I could've ever expected (thanks for that), so I thought I'd pull out one from the vaults. This is from my Woodbridge trip from December 2017.

This once-grand home on Trumbull has seen better days. In recent years it served as a church (which, in my opinion, is usually rock bottom for a historic home or building). I've seen photos of what it looked like in its Victorian heyday and, well, let's just say its current appearance is a fall from grace. Hopefully, who ever buys it does their research and replicates what once was. As was shown just down the street, it can be done. #Detroit #Westside #WoodbridgeDetroit #QueenAnne #VictorianArchitecture #TrumbullAvenue #TrumbullAve #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #deserve2preserve #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter #SavingPlaces (at Woodbridge, Detroit) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsYI2ueg26V/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=czfp5eyh24bh

Unlike other historic districts in the city, Woodbridge allows homeowners to really express themselves. Throughout the neighborhood you'll find colorful homes like this. Could you imagine this happening in Boston-Edison or Indian Village? #Detroit #Westside #WoodbridgeDetroit #QueenAnne #VictorianArchitecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #houseportrait #TheAmericanHome #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter (at Woodbridge, Detroit) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrCKVKcA8hq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p09pg91aagav

3669 Lincoln is the oldest extant home in the Woodbridge neighborhood. It is a contributing property of the Woodbridge Farms Historic District, a City of Detroit Historic District bounded by the east side of Trumbull Avenue and both sides of Lincoln between Canfield and Grand River. Woodbridge Farms was developed in the early 1870s, about a decade earlier than the rest of what we know now as the Woodbridge Historic District to the west, by The Hodges Brothers (Henry & Charles), with most of the homes built speculatively. This Italianate-style home was built in 1873. It was partially damaged by fire last year. #Detroit #Westside #WoodbridgeDetroit #Italianate #VictorianArchitecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #deserve2preserve #TheAmericanHome #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #IGersDetroit #detroit_igers #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter #SavingPlaces (at Woodbridge, Detroit)
