An Ann Arbor landmark, the Cutting Apartment Building at S. State and Monroe Sts., is being torn down this week to make way for another University parking lot. Bought by the U-M on May 13, 1960, the property will eventually be used, however, for expansion of the Law School facilities when funds are available for building, according to long-range plans. The three-story brick building contained 20 apartment units.

Firemen work their way onto the second floor of the building at 2010 Washtenaw Ave. to keep flames from spreading to the north wing of the 15-year-old brick home. All six occupants of the home managed to escape unharmed. Capt. Arthur Stauch carried one elderly woman to safety from her first floor bedroom. A caretaker and his wife were forced to leave their basement apartment through a window. The dwelling is owned by John E. Stowe of 312 Juniper Lane, Barton Hills. He estimated the loss at more than $60,000. (Other pictures on page 22.)

SMOKE HIDES DWELLING: Heavy clouds of acrid smoke all but hide the 15-room Washtenaw Ave. home as firemen attempt to pour water into the southeast corner of the basement where the fire apparently originated. The thick fumes which came from slow-burning insulating material hampered firefighting operation during the long struggle to get the fire under control. Directing the fight was Fire Chief Ben Zahn seen walking at left. (Pictures by News Photographer Eck Stanger)
