THE WILLIAM LIVINGSTONE
RESIDENCE ON ELLIOT IN NORTH BRUSH PARK, AKA "SLUMPY"
BY DETROITYES FORUM MEMBERS |
|
|
Brush Park originally was the site of 19th Century 'gilded age' mansions. When the
city grew rapidly in the first decades of the 20th Century the mansions were
carved up into rooming houses, often with wings added to their rears. By
the late 20th Century Brush Park was an area of abandoned structures, overgrown
by vegetation and infamous for open drug transactions and prostitution.
At the turn of the 21st Century, spurred the the redevelopment of downtown the
nearby new Detroit Tigers baseball park, a rapid redevelopment of south Brush Park, led by
Crosswinds Development, filled a hidden demand for livable downtown residences.
That success is now fueling the redevelopment of the north Brush Park where
several ruined residences offer exciting opportunities.
