- Description:
- This collection documents some activities of Lansing's LaNoble Realty Company, which was founded in 1941 by Ford LaNoble. His brother, who had worked for the McKibbin agency as early as the 1920s, joined him as sales manager in 1970. In 1980, the agency ceased residential sales to focus on commercial property, and the business name was changed to LaNoble Business Brokers at some point. They were located for many years at 1516 East Michigan Avenue. The small collection contains some identified and unidentified photographs, mostly of homes that were listed for sale by the agency. All of the identified photographs are digitized and can be viewed in Child Records below. There are some standard house plans from the Harnishfeger Corporation of Port Washington, Wisconsin (dated 1951-1953); several files concerning an apartment building at 300 M. A. C. Avenue in East Lansing, for which LaNoble seems to have served as property manager in the late 1940s; several files of text for real estate advertising in the Lansing State Journal in the 1940s; and a file of assorted correspondence and forms. Most of the material dates from the 1940s and 1950s. This collection was an estate sale purchase by David Caterino, who then left the collection to the Capital Area District Libraries. A note from Caterino with the collection states that the seller told him more than 25 bags of material from LaNoble "went to the dump," presumably on closure of the business in the 1990s. What is here was what was able to be salvaged at the time.

- Description:
- This collection consists of nearly 400 boxes of real estate listing cards and other material for addresses throughout the greater Lansing area, including both commercial and residential properties. It was created in the course of business by the Advance Realty Co. of Lansing, founded by C. Rowland Stebbins. Records make up two series: standard (card) files, and large files. The 4" x 6" card format was a common way real estate listings were recorded and shared by agencies, especially in the 1950s and beyond with the advent of simple card and photo printing systems. Large files are similar but sometimes include rough sketches of a property or a neighborhood section, correspondence, and/or larger newspaper clippings, with most material on 8 1/2" x 11" office paper as opposed to the smaller cards. Materials are organized by street address. A typical address file will include at least one of the following: -Photograph of property -Negative (usually Kodak Brownie format) of property -Sales listing card or sheet, detailing the structure, lot, location, any notes on showing the property for agents, notes on sale price and date. The 4" x 6" sales listing cards usually have a half-tone photograph of the property on the reverse. -Newspaper clippings (classified advertisements or articles) -Sales agent solicitation records -Rental property information -Vacant property information Occasionally odd items such as a housekey have been found in the files. The material was created and maintained by the Advance Realty Co. of Lansing. Advance was founded by C. Rowland "Rollie" Stebbins, the grandson of Cortland B. Stebbins, who was an editor of the Lansing Republican newspaper as early as 1857. The Stebbins family was prominent in Lansing business and local government for several generations.

- Description:
- This collection consists of 49 boxes of real estate listing cards and other material for addresses throughout the greater Lansing area, including both commercial and residential properties. It was created in the course of business by the Belon Realty Co. of Lansing, founded by owner and broker George T. Belon in 1952. It was in existence at least until 1998, but the records in this collection end in about 1970. The 4" x 6" multi listing card format was a common way real estate listings were recorded and shared by agencies, especially in the 1950s and beyond with the advent of simple card and photo printing systems. Materials are organized by street address. For the most part this collection is limited to a property listing card with a photo of varying quality printed on the back, but occasionally there are negatives (usually duplicating the house photos printed on respective cards), some handwritten notes and correspondence, or other items. Many cards have inaccurate designations of "Street," "Road," "Avenue," "Court," etc., and some have incorrectly spelled street names. We have corrected these in the descriptions and file names where possible. Each street is generally treated as an item in this collection with its own database record. Note that streets are sometimes divided into multiple files for direction (N/S/E/W), or if a street runs through more than one community. These files are being added to Local History Online as materials are digitized. This collection is complementary to the <a href="http://cadl.pastperfectonline.com/archive/ED4AE10E-B0EA-4B4B-820E-622451796401">Stebbins Real Estate Collection</a> at CADL as well as a number of other resources useful for property research in the greater Lansing area.
