- Description:
- Mounted sepia-toned photograph of the front and right face of the log house on Private Claim 45 along West Jefferson Avenue near Dearborn Street, which originally stood along the Rouge River on Private Claim 569, where it was occupied by Jean Baptiste Campau and Archange [Lassilen dit Possion] Campau, then later Charles Campau and Archange [Beaubien] Campau. A water trough is in the foreground, and a covered horse carriage is visible near the rear of the house, on the right edge of frame. A typewritten note, signed by Edgar Beaufait Marion on the verso of the matting reads: Grosse Pointe, Michigan. February 22, 1944. This picture was taken by Edgar Beaufait Marion, son of Adolph N. Marion and Elizabeth Mario Marion, (Ne Beaufait) during the summer of 1920. This is the original log house that stood on the banks of the River Rouge, known as Private Claim 569on which a Patent was issues by President John Quincy Adams on the Twenty-first day of March 1827. It was then occupied by Charles Campau and Archange Campau, his wife, (Ne Beaubien) after Jean Baptiste Campau and Archange Campau (Ne Lassilen Dit Possion) had originally occupied same. This house was later moved from the River Rouge to the front part of Private Claim 45 (also known as P.C. 11) facing on the River Road (now Jefferson Avenue West). It was maintained as a farm an orchard adjoining to the east. Subsequently the house and big barn were razed and the property remained vacant for some years. In 1935 the City of Detroit instituted legal action to secure these properties for a Sewage Disposal Plant, which action was terminated in the City's favor. From these proceedings the City left 14 acres of P.C. 569 bordering on the River Rouge which they did not desire. Adolph Nazarre Marion, my Father, passed on January 21, 1938.
