The third part of my summer Detroit phototour is still in the heart of the city, in the Arden Park-East Boston Historic District, located directly to the east of the historic Boston-Edison Historic District. Albeit much smaller than Boston-Edison, with only about 100 homes, this neighborhood retains the similar architecture, grassy median and tree-lined streets that its neighbor Boston-Edison has.



The most distinctive monument in the neighborhood is the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament church, on Woodward Avenue near the gateway to the neighborhood.



Without further ado, here's part 3 of my Detroit summer tour!
