This photograph is of the eastside of the 100 block of North Michigan Avenue, Howell, Michigan, and was taken as part of documentation for the R/UDAT Study, 1984. In view are several storefronts including Creative Ceramics (115), Spinning Wheel Restaurant (117) and Creative Kitchens Baths & Boutiques Inc. (119).
In 1983, the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce applied for a R/UDAT (Regional/Urban Design Assistance Team) study, an American Institute of Architects program that brought a team of professionals to the city for a four-day period to study Howell's downtown, its ability to compete for regional shopping, and to make recommendations for improvements to re-vitalize the city. The team, in 1984, during the study took photographs, interviewed people, held forums, and in the end provided an outline of strategies.
This is a photograph done for the 1961-1962 Howell High School, Howell, Michigan, yearbook, "The Torch". It shows the school kitchen and its staff. The names of the persons are unknown.
