The story

By Victoria Jackson, Editor in Chief Updated

Arden Park-East Boston Historic District is one of the places that gives Arden Park its character.

It was built in the Late 19th And Early 20th Century American Movements style, and it still reads that way from the sidewalk.

It joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

Go see it at Arden Park and E. Boston Aves. between Woodward and Oakland Aves. Photos never get the scale right.

The Arden Park, East Boston Historic District is a neighborhood located in Detroit, Michigan, bounded on the west by Woodward Avenue, on the north by East Boston Boulevard, on the east by Oakland Avenue, and on the south by Arden Park Boulevard.
