Art Drawing Commerce

The intersection of Michigan Avenue and Schaefer Road
has been important in metropolitan Detroit's history. In its early days it was a rest stop on the road between Detroit and Chicago. Joseph Schaefer built the Six Mile House tavern at the northeast corner in 1864; it operated for more than 50 years. On the same spot, his son John built the beautiful Art Deco-Style Schaefer Building in 1930. It solidified the Michigan/Schaefer area's importance as one of Michigan's largest business districts outside downtown Detroit at the time.

YOU AUTO KNOW
Schaefer Building architect Louis Kamper also designed other prominent Dtroit buildings, including the Book Cadillac Hotel in 1924 and the Book Tower in 1926.
