Pointes of History Celebration: 2021 (Awarding Historic Homes in Grosse Pointe)

Since 1986, the Society has been annually awarding historic plaques to Grosse Pointe landmarks to recognize their historical or architectural value to the community, to encourage their continued preservation, or to recognize the value of adaptive reuse.

The bronze plaques, designed by J. William Gorski, bear the image of the Society’s logo, a French windmill that stood on the shores of Lake St. Clair in the 1700s. They are 8 inches in diameter and weigh five pounds.

Join the Grosse Pointe Historical Society’s Historic Plaque Committee as they award historic plaques to several homes in the Grosse Pointe community: 48 Hawthorne Road, Grosse Pointe Shores; 766 Balfour Street, Grosse Pointe Park; 411 Country Club Lane, Grosse Pointe Farms.

Special thanks to Barney Nowicki of First Impressions Photography (586-879-3464) for taking the photos of this year’s historic homes. Those photos can be viewed at http://www.flickr.com/photos/firstimpressionphotography/sets.
