Lansdowne Subdivision, Ann Arbor, ca. 1963

"This photo looks northwest and depicts the cleared farm land for the George Airey housing development (Lansdowne) bordered by Scio Church Road, running east and west horizontally across the picture. Ironically, despite the utility poles shown, the finished utilities were underground. The building to the extreme left is Lawton School, well along toward its completion. The pond was spring fed and was called the old cow pond before being groomed for the subdivision."
