An example of how things change. The first house was built in 1866, torn down in 1892 for the second house which was torn down in 1920 for industry. Now an empty lot. Fort street at Swain and Vineyard, Detroit.
Here are some more houses from Detroit which are all gone today. These houses, which all lined Woodward Ave, were torn down as the city grew with the explosion of the automobile industry in the first half of the 20th century.
Lost architecture isn’t a new phenomenon. This 1860s Victorian house in Detroit was renovated in the 1890s and then that house was torn down in the early 20th century.
