Urban Renewal and the Fight for Fair Housing in Ann Arbor

North Central Area Study -- Limited to Beakes, Depot, Main triangle

Item

Title
North Central Area Study -- Limited to Beakes, Depot, Main triangle
Description
This report was made by Eunice Burns, a then member of the Ann Arbor Planning Commission, to look into the potential city purchase of various plots of land from a developer in the North Central area of the city (Michigan Historical Collections staff, n.d.). Given the context of purchase dates and areas, this seller is most likely the landlord who purchased a variety of units in the Beakes, Depot, Main triangle during the early 1960s (see “Related Item(s)”). Of note is that this item directly cites a report from Harriet Fusfeld to the Human Rights Commission several years earlier (see “Related Item(s)”).
