If you happened to live East of Conner Street in 1904, you were a Grosse Pointer.

I love the history the maps display. Is it possible I can get copies of the maps?

I bought a print of this map a number of years ago at the now-closed Detroit Mercantile Co. in Eastern Market.
And technically you wouldn’t be a Grosse Pointer… You’d live in Fairview! It wasn’t until 1907 that Fairview was incorporated and split between Detroit and Grosse Pointe (becoming the Park).
