Ann Arbor's old St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, long threatened to be torn down and developed for other uses, has been saved.
Meanwhile, the Frieze Building still sits, sadly awaiting its demise. It is scheduled to be torn down this summer to make way for new University of Michigan dormitories. The design, however, incorporates a part of the Frieze Building's façade and the result is actually quite appealing.
Tonight I have read that the historic 1920s-era Anberay Apartments, located on East University, have been bought by a developer from Chicago. The company would demolish the once-protected apartment buildings to make way for a ten-story, $20 million apartment building. If this project is passed by the city, Ann Arbor will lose one of the last things that makes it truly unique.

Hey Marjorie
I stumbled upon your blog while looking for Michigan blogs - great work; nice photos! Question : What camera are you using?
I am wildly attracted to old buildings - and living near Detroit, there are an abundance. it's just a real shame that many of them are derelict and dangerous; I have plans to spend a day snapping what I can, so take a look at my blog soon - (or even now!)
keep it going!

In Three Rivers, MI, the Riviera Theater downtown is almost finished being renovated. Upwards of $2 million have been spent and the place is AMAZING on the inside. AMAZING...
