I had someone do me a write-up for HistoricDetroit.org on a house, but he knows only that it was demolished when Mack Avenue was put in. Having a hard time finding it and no time to go to the Burton...

Anyone know when it came down?
Looks like it was gone by the 1980s. Not much about this gal. Built in 1923-24 at Columbia and John R. She was a 450-room Italian Renaissance number. Don't suppose...
