George Ladve House (1886 Eastlake Victorian), Brush Park neighborhood, Detroit, March 18, 2024
Second in this series. I photographed and posted several houses in Brush Park five years ago. On a visit to Detroit, on March 18, 2024, I spent sometime going through the neighborhood again.

Brush Park in midtown Detroit was developed in the second half of the 1800s as an upscale neighborhood, but began a decline in the early 1900s. By the time of Detroit's general, steep decline later in the 20th century, Brush Park, once nicknamed "Little Paris", suffered severe urban blight. Today, some of the relatively few historic buildings remaining are being renovated.
