Huron River Below The Hudson Mills Dam, July 1949

Huron River Below The Hudson Mills Dam, July 1949 image
Published In
Ann Arbor News, July 25, 1949
Caption
Washtenaw county offers few more beautiful scenes than the still waters of the Huron River, just below the Hudson Mills dam near N. Territorial Rd., a few hundred feet east of Dexter-Pinckney Rd. The original Hudson Mills were built in 1827 for sawing the lumber that went into the construction of pioneer Dexter township homes. Fire apparently destroyed the original mills, for history records a second building of Hudson Mills in 1846 for the manufacture of paper. Thomas Birkett, who acquired the Dover Mills in the mid-century, also gained control of the Hudson Mills about that time and operated the paper mill there.

Jeff Cox Admires Two Fish In A Bathtub, June 1963

CARP IN THE BATHTUB: There aren't many places in the average-sized apartment to stash a 33 1/2-inch, 19 pound carp for the day or so the fisherman might want to keep it around. But 13-year-old Jeff Cox, who lives in Trenton but has been visiting relatives at 803 E. Kingsley St. here, solved the problem by installing the big fish and a smaller one in the bathtub. Young Cox caught the lunker in the Huron River at Delhi Park, using a breadball for bait. It took him 30 minutes to net and beach the fish since he was using only an eight-pound-test line and a delicate fiber-glass pole.

Brought to Ann Arbor by Mrs. Donald Abbott (left) of 939 Greenwood, it now is caged in Mrs. Abbott's room of fourth and fifth graders in Northside School. Joan E. Dolfin of 1507 Ottawa and James A.

The Roadeo's winner, with 570 of a possible 750 points, was Steve Raymond, secretary of the AATA employees' union. He will represent AATA at the American Public Transit Association's national roadeo in Washington next October. The winner of last year's AATA Roadeo, Charles Buck, scored a close second Sunday with 562 points. AATA Director Richard J.

Close Competition--Kim Moore, left (this photo), watches closely to be certain of staying inside a tightly marked serpentine course Sunday at the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority's Roadeo. A bus, below, is timed with radar by a sheriff's deputy to ensure that it keeps moving at least 20 miles an hour while skirting a line of barrels without striking any. The Roadeo's winner, with 570 of a possible 750 points, was Steve Raymond, secretary of the AATA employees' union. He will represent AATA at the American Public Transit Association's national roadeo in Washington next October. The winner of last year's AATA Roadeo, Charles Buck, scored a close second Sunday with 562 points. AATA Director Richard J. Simonetta said the course, in Washtenaw Community College's parking area, was set up precisely by national standards and was more difficult this year.

Ignominy is no longer the fate of old, worn-out automobiles and the Platt school children, shown above toting an ancient car body on their small express wagon, are proving the point by getting the scrapped machine to the pile whence it will be transported to the smelters, remoulded into vital war machinery and dispatched on its last journey to the war-torn corners of the world. Platt pupils shown bringing in the car (they've already brought in a great deal of other scrap material) are, left to right, Ralph Terry, Ronald Daugherty, Frank Michelfelder, Eleanor Daugherty, Guy Blachman and Donald Adams.

House Being Moved South On State Street, November 1950 image
Published In
Ann Arbor News, November 16, 1950
Caption
House-moving has become fairly commonplace in Ann Arbor, with residences transferred to make way for new buildings, but seldom are the houses routed through business districts. This one, moved to make way for a parking lot for the Muehlig Funeral Chapel on Fourth Ave., was photographed at a busy campus area intersection, S. State St. and N. University Ave. It was being moved to 259 Crest Ave. Strangely, the house was first transported east, on a selected route, although its destination was on the west side of the city. The route was Liberty to State St., then to Rose St., White St., Stadium Blvd., W. Liberty St. and finally to Crest.
