The Gilded Age in
Detroit
19th Century Detroit became a thriving city by brokering
its lumber age wealth into an industrial base that provided the basis
for the automobile explosion which soon followed.
Detroit's upperclass built sumptuous residences on the
outskirts of the city which today lay deep within the urban sprawl. These
ruins may be seen today in the Brush Park
area and along Trumbull Avenue north of Grand River Avenue.
