DLOs Can Stimulate Creative and Writing Skills Poor Girls - Detroit 1900-1910 The Journey Sample steamship contract for steerage passenger “Crossing the Atlantic was a long, uncomfortable journey. The trip lasted two to three weeks. Immigrants slept and ate in the storage class. This area of the ship was below water level, so it was always dark. Immigrants in steerage were crowded together and had to share their space with livestock animals. The conditions were unsanitary and people often became sick. When the weather was nice , steerage passengers went up to the ship’s deck for a bit of fresh air.” http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=sDzpNOFRYmIC&oi=fnd&pg=PA4&dq=steerage+immigrants+1900s&ots=If8WjU77uM&sig=_zmhcBWEAl3sweww2pZqCTJobeI#v=onepage&q=&f=false http://www.gjenvick.com/CunardLine/SteamshipTickets/1895-05-29-SteeragePassengerContract.html

Velvet ropes contained the crowds while a pianist entertained. Paintings by artists such as Thomas Hovenden, Edwin Blashfield and Douglas Volk adorned the lobby walls. The ceiling provided a sight as awesome as any cathedral, with white marble sculptures of "Cupid and Psyche" and a life-sized pair of rearing horses pulling a Roman chariot… the Michigan was "a castle of dreams http://apps.detnews.com/apps/history/index.php?id=30 The architectural design of the Michigan Theatre symbolized the wealth, the power and the cultural tastes that existed in Detroit during the 1920s.

40. DLOs Present Information THE Michigan Theatre Tracing a Community Through its Public Buildings 1926 “Detroit is the largest city of opportunity in the world.“ -Detroit City Directory, 1924-1925 1976 The once grand Michigan Theatre closed in 1976. “Tenants in the adjoining office building needed … parking, and … the building owners decided to demolish the theater portion for parking, since it was no longer in use. The theater had to be carved into a parking garage because studies … showed it would endanger the soundness of the adjoining office building. Because of this, much of the theater remains today … the fact that the once-grand theater is now used for parking is as sad as it is ironic.” http://www.buildingsofdetroit.com/places/mi The Michigan Theatre has been like a barometer of the Detroit’s economic health. As Detroit’s financial health declined so too did the condition of the Michigan Theatre. Michigan Theatre Video YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ-dw5izGVQ
