Well, I will take a shot at guessing. The house on the street behind the park reminds me of the streets leading east off Woodward near downtown. I think at one time there was a park between Erskine and Alfred, John R and Brush. | ||

I was thinking along those lines as well. Perhaps a gander at the City Directories or other Burton resources is in order. | ||

Was this the oval-shaped park near Detroit Edison that was removed to make way for MGM? | ||

No I am looking at a Detroit map from the forties and the oval parks on the west side of downtown were called Crawford Park and Elton PArk. | ||

What if it's supposed to be "Orion Park"? | ||

Elton! That's what I was thinking of! I tried. | ||

I'm not familiar with any Orion Park either, Johnlodge. | ||

As illustrated on that other thread, those old lithographs had a lot of imagination, it seems. | ||

Yeah, for buildings, but for parks? |
