Detroit 1914

One of the nerdier home renovation blogs around. I've got myself a "fixer upper" from 1914 on Detroit's east side and am trying to imagine what life was like for the original owners and what they must have made of their new life there on the brink of WWI, mass immigration, prohibition, the women's vote, and the invention of jazz and the assembly line.

About Me

Former Detroiter (20+ years away), coming home to get in before the rush. In short, I believe.

I know very little about history. So, if I wrote it here, it's because I just learned it and thought it was cool. Feel free to skool me and/or suggest material.
