AVIATION SUBDIVISION
The Aviation Sub, in the northeast corner of Dearborn, was the first exclusive brick subdivision in the city, built in the 1920's and 1930's by the finest architects and European craftsmen for the brass of Ford Motor Co. The large unique homes feature stained glass, arches, sculpted wood and limestone, and an elegant variety of brick, stone and plaster artistry. Many are English tudors and colonials, with a few ranches.

View source page---> by Paul Mastrogiacomo St. Alphonsus Cemetary
St. Alphonsus parish was started by some 40 families who arrived from Rhineland-Westphalia between 1825 and 1845. The first mass was celebrated in 1851 in the home of Peter and Catharina Theisen Esper. They then donated land for a school which was built in 1846. In 1849 a cemetery was founded and in 1852 the first church built. The current cemetery was founded in 1878 and the older graves were moved to the new location one block north. In total there are 250 graves with markers ranging from tiny headstones to monuments like the one in this photo. More --->
