I have 2 photos from my mom, Rosemarie Hanson (Berry)'s (1931-2005) photo books. Most of my Hanson side family from Rosedale Park is gone so it has been hard to find out where this business was, so I am checking again. I think my family ran the Rosedale Travel Agency and was wondering if anyone knew., based on the structures or past knowledge, where it might have been located. If anyone knows, I would appreciate it. Many thanks. I believe it operated in the Rosedale Park area between the mid-1950s to early 1960s.
Hello, John Berry-- The photos seem to show a residential location for this business. That's a little odd, since Rosedale is zoned R1, which doesn't allow businesses (with the exception of home-based day care businesses). That said, I don't recognize the architecture...are you sure it was in Rosedale? Could it have been in North Rosedale? Grand River is the dividing line between the two neighborhoods...
ReplyDeleteIt could have been North Rosedale. My family moved from Longacre to Bretton Drive in the late 1950s/early 1960s so it definitely could have been in North Rosedale. Should have asked these questions when my relatives were around :)
DeleteYes, so, Longacre is in the Grandmont community (that's east of Southfield). Bretton is definitely in North Rosedale...
