- 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.
