Bravo! The Christian Science Church across from the Lakewood Public Library looks great and has been saved from the wrecking ball. Thank you to the civic-minded developer.
Boo! However, one of Lakewood’s oldest homes, located behind the church, was torn down without any public discussion. I believe it was the Harry Andrews house. The house, which was directly behind the church, faced Detroit and had the look of an old farmhouse. The house could have been moved to Lakewood Park and would have looked great next to the Oldest Stone House. While there was public outcry about the home on Lake and Nicholson, the Andrew’s home flew under the radar.
