The second part of my summer Detroit phototour takes me to the geographic heart of the city, Boston-Edison Historic Neighborhood. This area was once home to Detroit's prominent residents in history. The neighborhood consists of over 900 historic homes, so this tour is only a fraction of what is here. This district became listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. These pictures were taken on a gorgeous Friday afternoon in July.



Entrance to the Boston-Edison Historic District, located at Woodward and West Boston.
