It's hard to imagine, but this area used to be full of upper middle class, art-deco apartment buildings. Neighborhood was nice until the 1960's, and intact until the 1990's:

The only semi-intact art deco apartment district is just south of Palmer Park, just north of McNichols, just west of Woodward. This was the gay district until the 1990's (I think still popular with AA gays?) and may still be salvageable:

Thanks. I saw some of these buildings during other Google tours of Detroit, but I couldn't seem to zoom in on any of it today. Your post was very helpful. So were the suggestions posted by iheartthed. I wish I could have visited mid-20th Century Detroit.
