Does anyone out there have any historical pictures of Roseville? I just moved here (1st house) from Warren two years ago and I've been trying to find some old pictures of my neighborhood (I live on Koontz). | ||

HEre is some info on your neighborhood. Here are two plats each representing a different block of your street. One was platted in 1952 here. Brody-Frazho Subdivision http://www.cis.state.mi.us/pla tmaps/dt_image.asp?BCC_SUBINDE X=33482 The other off of 10 mile was platte in 1956 The Gulason Brothers Subdivision http://www.cis.state.mi.us/pla tmaps/dt_image.asp?BCC_SUBINDE X=39003 Here are a series of Aerials. 1949 http://techtools.culma.wayne.e du/media/macomb/1949/ha-2-83.p df Koontz will be built a bit west of Kelly where you can see the angled drain on the Gualson Brothers plat running accross 10 mile in the aerial. The rectangular open space at the top along gratiot is where Eastland will go and a subdivision to the east of that. 1952 You can still see both parcels undeveloped here. The north part from Church to Frazho(Brody Frazho Sub) was platted later this year, just south of the new homes on Frazho at the endo of the large open land where Eastland will go. It appears from the plat the owners of that land were named Robert and Rhea Brody. The parcel off of 10 mile just west of Kelly south of the north parcel was owned by people named John and Anna Kubani and the people who bought it and developed it in 1956 were named Edward and Lillian Gula. Hence the Subdivision name. In this photo when you zoom in you can see an unimproved Church road seperating the parcels. 1957 http://techtools.culma.wayne.e du/media/macomb/1956/ga-21-35. pdf Here you can clearly see the divided KElly at 10 Mile road. From here go west 3 streets to the underconstruction part of Koontz from 10 Mile to Church (Gulason Sub). It appears only the two houses at Church and Koontz are complete (show models?) THe north Sub Brody-Frazho is complete in this photo. Now it is in the middle of other subdivisions. Eastland is also present. 1962 http://techtools.culma.wayne.e du/media/macomb/1961/fm-35-78. pdf Here you can see the Gualson sub from 10 to Church is STILL under construction 5 years later. Seems to have been moving slow. Note the amount of open space still around west of the neighborhood. That is the last old aerial available from there. Hope that gives you some good info. | ||

http://www.macomb.lib.mi.us/ro seville/historical_genealogica l_society.htm Here's the link to your local Historical Society. They may have fun stuff. I purchased some photos at the Ferndale Historical society of 9 & Woodward in 1920's, 1930's, 1940's, 1970's, and framed them up and they make great artwork for my house. | ||

Thanks for the links! I always wonder about my neighborhood and what it was like back in the 50's and 60's. My grandparents lived on Tuscany in East Detroit (I hate calling it EastPointe) and I've always enjoyed looking at old pictures from when my Dad was a kid. My house was built around the same time as theirs. | ||

Which part of Tuscany? Also, you might find the wall photos at Tubby's on Gratiot to be interesting. Strange place to find historic pictures, but they are pretty cool. | ||

My late grandparents lived on Lawn, just off of Frazho. There is/was a Fire Station there. They had what , at least it seemed to me as a little kid, a huge lot "back to back" to the Great Scott or Farmer Jack`s. | ||

There were also some great photos on the wall at the Farmer Jack at 13 and Gratiot, before they closed. I don't know if they are still at the Kroger or not. | ||

The old photos from the Farmer Jack in Chesterfield are now at the Chesterfield Library maybe the ville did the same thing. | ||

They lived on Tuscany, in between Hauss and 10 Mile. Their house was actually on the corner of Tuscany and Hauss. I have seen the photos in Tubby's. |
