- Description:
- View of building identified as the Col. [Matthew] Elliot house at Fort Malden in Amherstburg, Ontario, Canada. "Bastion of the Detroit River for 200 years, fortifications at Fort Malden have witnessed and participated in the struggles which helped forge a new nation out of the North American wilderness. An army garrison, British Indian Department post, dockyard for the Upper Great Lakes and the meeting place for Chief Tecumseh and British General Brock - the fort has been all these. Fort Malden preserves elements of the second fort built by the British on the eastern bank of the Detroit River to defend the Canadian border from American attack in the first half of the 19th century. The first post, known as Fort Amherstburg, was constructed in 1796 near the mouth of the Detroit River where it empties into Lake Erie. This post was the headquarters for the British forces in southwestern Upper Canada during the War of 1812. Fort Malden was erected after the war and rebuilt in 1838-40 and served once again as a centre for the British defence during the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837-39," from Fort Malden National Historic Site of Canada website.

- Notes:
- This large but simple two-story wooden building has an attic, two chimneys, fourteen visible standard sash windows (a white cloth hangs from one) and four separate entrance doors (one with the address 239). All this suggests the building was converted into housing. At the door farthest away stand two African American women, one holding a large washtub. A utility pole with wires and an old streetlight is in the foreground. On the back of the photograph is written: "[Located] on Market St., the second church built in Grand Rapids. Williams St. S.W." Dated "1929."
