Looking north above Ecorse Road. Large building on the lower right was the Roller Rink on Parkwood (fire destroyed it recently). The streets along the bottom going north, from right to left, now are Ohio, Dakota, Oregon and Devonshire. First east/west street would now be Russell. Railroad tracks and then Michigan Ave run slightly diagonal from left to right across the middle of this photo.
Looking north from Michigan Ave and Spencer Lane. The former Garwood Industries, now Eby Brown, site fronts along the north side of Michigan Ave and Willow Run High School is now back along Holmes Road and Spencer Lane.
