Stories from the sidewalk: a walk through 137 years that shaped dearborn

by Christopher Merlo (Editor), L. Glenn O'Kray (Editor)

"As this book illustrates, every house and building has a story to tell, especially those that are historic. From humble farmhouses to stately Tudors to inspiring houses of worship, Stories From the Sidewalk documents the history of 361 houses and buildings in Dearborn's Arsenal and Riverbend neighborhoods. Collectively they tell the story of Dearborn's transformation from a small village on the Chicago Turnpike (now Michigan Avenue) to a bustling city at the center of the automotive revolution."

This is a beautiful coffee table book which describes many of the original historical houses in Dearborn, Michigan. The houses are primarily those in West Dearborn, just north of Michigan Avenue and beyond the Rouge River. Each page contains a current glossy photo of the house with information about when it was built, the architect, the year it was built and background information on the original and subsequent homeowners. Fascinating reading for any Dearborn resident!!
