The story

By Victoria Jackson, Editor in Chief Updated

Lathrup Village Historic District is one of the places that gives Lathrup Village its character.

It was built in the Mission/Spanish Revival style, and it still reads that way from the sidewalk.

The National Register of Historic Places listed it in 1998.

Go see it at Roughly bounded by city limits, Red River Dr., Interstate 696, Middlesex Ave., Meadowbrook Way, and Margate Ave. Photos never get the scale right.
