We found a series of images showing a former Eagle Street storefront being destroyed in December 1967 for what was likely a #Dearborn Fire Department exercise. The building was likely acquired through an #urbanrenewal program that was forcing out residents in favor of higher tax paying industrial properties.

#UrbanRenewal in the #Dearborn Southend led to the demolition and moving of many houses. This December 1972 image from our negative collection shows a home being moved to near the corner of Lapeer and Roulo. The home in the image is now located at 2911 Roulo.
