Mid-Century Modern Architecture Tour returns to Southfield

BY KATHRYN PENTIUK kpentiuk@candgnews.com

SOUTHFIELD — After a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Mid-Century Modern Architecture Tour is making its return to Southfield at 2 p.m. June 9, taking off from Shaarey Zedek Synagogue, 27375 Bell Road, with free parking on-site. The tour is possible thanks to the Southfield Historical Society, the Detroit Area Art Deco Society and the Friends of Southfield Public Arts.

“It’s sold out every time we’ve done it. So it was time to do it again. We’ve been doing this tour since 2013. And then, obviously, ’20, ’21, ’22 and ’23, we didn’t do it. So we had a four-year pause. But we’re back,” Southfield Mayor Kenson Siver stated. The iconic mid-century modern architecture has surrounded Siver since he moved to Southfield in the 1960s. He expressed that it’s hard to pick a favorite building.

“The two neighborhoods that we got national historic designations for, they’re on the federal government’s list of historic places — Northland Gardens and Plumbrooke Estates. But I would also add Cranbrook, because there’s so much history with how that neighborhood was developed.

“I like all of the buildings. We start at Shaarey Zedek, which is just a phenomenal piece of architecture.”

Have a plan and be ready before severe weather rolls in

BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Although severe thunderstorms are a common occurrence in Michigan, many homeowners aren’t prepared.

Extreme weather can hit at any time — bringing heavy rain, flooding, lightning, damaging winds, large hail and even tornadoes. On average, Michigan has 15 tornadoes per year, according to state officials, who said the average lead time for a tornado warning is 10 to 15 minutes.

In the past 10 months, Michigan has had tornado outbreaks twice. The National Weather Service confirmed seven tornadoes touched down in Michigan on Aug. 24, 2023 — the most tornadoes in a single day during the month of August. One tornado touched down in Ingham and Livingston counties, three hit Wayne County, two touched down in Monroe County and another hit in Kent County.

Most recently, four tornadoes touched down in Kalamazoo, St. Joseph, Cass and Branch counties on the night of May 7, ac-

cording to the National Weather Service, prompting Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to declare a state of emergency in those areas.

“In the last 10 months, we’ve had very real lessons that tornadoes can and do happen here in Michigan, and they can happen at different times of the year … so having a plan and being prepared is definitely key,” said Lauren Thompson Phillips, public information officer for Michigan State Police Emergency Management and Homeland Security.

One of the main things people should be aware of is the difference between a watch and a warning for severe weather.

“If you are hearing there’s a watch, that means conditions are right for severe weather. But if you’re hearing there’s a warning, that means that severe weather is coming, or a tornado has been spotted, so you better take cover,” Phillips said.

Whenever the thunder roars, it’s important to get indoors — whether that be a building, or, if none are nearby, a car — and remember to close all doors, windows and blinds.

If you’re outside with no place to shelter, experts say to seek low ground away from trees and metal objects.

In the event of a tornado, get to a basement or storm cellar. If there’s no basement, head to a small, interior room on the lowest level, making sure to stay away from windows, doors and outside walls.

Wherever you plan to take cover, you should store a home emergency kit — a collection of basic items that your household

Vietnam veteran receives new roof

BY KATHRYN PENTIUK kpentiuk@candgnews.com

SOUTHFIELD — “I’m still walking around in a daze. My wife and I … it’s unbelievable — nothing like this has ever happened,”

Michael Johnson, a U.S. Air Force veteran and Southfield resident of 30 years, said of his new roof.

“So we’re very grateful,” he said. “This is helping us deal with a lot of stress in terms of a deteriorating roof. So we feel very grateful and we’re very happy,” Johnson said.

On May 8, contractors from Schoenherr Roofing, an Owens Corning Platinum Roofing contractor, got to work on Thorndyke Street as part of the Owens Corning Roof Deployment Project and Habitat for Humanity Oakland County.

“He put in an application, I think, three years back and hasn’t heard anything since he put in that application. And I was actually the one to surprise him with a phone call. He thought I was just a roofing company calling to give him quotes to replace his roof, so

While the tour will enter six buildings, Siver and Darla Van Hoey, the president of the Southfield Historical Society, will guide the bus tour past iconic Southfield landmarks such as the Reynolds Aluminum Regional Headquarters, the Ira Kaufman Funeral Home, Smokey Robinson’s home and more.

One of the six buildings that will be entered is Kelly Elliott’s 1963 home, located off of Bell Street. Elliott is a former school psychologist and is a co-owner of Bowlero Bowling Alley on Coolidge Highway in Royal Oak. She has also been a member of the Docomomo Michigan Chapter since 2021. Docomomo is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation of buildings, sites and neighborhoods that were created during the modern movement.

Elliott is the curator, and her home is her mid-century modern museum. When she moved into the home in 2007, she was in awe that the original design elements remained intact, such as the Richard Harvey see-through bone walls, the Sputnik light fixtures, the travertine marble floors and the wall of mirrors designed by John Leslie, of

Cranbrook. Elliott resides in her groovy oasis with her son, Mickey, fiancé, Rob Dey, his daughter, Estella, as well as their German shepherd, the Fonz, and Hank the cat.

Elliott explained that the house was only owned by two owners prior to her. The original owner was a housing developer who owned a company called Crescendo Homes and built houses in Warren and Sterling Heights in the ’60s.

“He built this house for his own family. So in 1963, he did all the things in this house that were cutting edge for design,” she said.

She joked that it was a miracle that the home’s design elements hadn’t been painted over during the shabby chic era. While touring other homes, the charm and character of this house stood out to Elliott.

“I’m picky and critical about design. Some of the things I saw that people have done in homes, it was like, why did you do that?” she said. “It was unfortunate to see that people have taken out original elements and tried to take out all the specialness that maybe the original designer had tried to impart into the design. That’s the other reason why I do this: because I want people to know and also not be afraid to design with color and put in what you love and what you think looks cool.”

The three-bedroom, five-and-a-half-

bath home, equipped with a mother-in-law suite in the basement, is lined with hues of orange, yellow and red. Elliott is intentional in her design choices.

“The house kind of begged for something bright. And the kitchen’s already red and orange — that came that way. So, it makes sense. Plus, many, many months of Detroit weather is kind of drab and dull. And oranges and reds are energizing, and I like that. I like to live around that and be See ARCHITECTURE on page 8A

Civil War was still going on. But the Southern plantation owners realized that they were losing the war, and so the war was over, Lincoln was assassinated and the plantation owners kept moving,” Darla Van Hoey, the president of the Southfield Historical Society, said. “Going from one state to another, they kept moving on until they got to Texas. Then the federal government finally said, ‘Well, this is ridiculous.’ So the federal government sent General Granger out to Texas and let everybody know in Texas that the war was over and the slaves were freed.”

Juneteenth marked the freedom of all enslaved people. According to Van Hoey, the holiday is now all about history, culture and community.

She said the Black community knows about the date, “and they didn’t learn about it in school. Nobody learned about it in school. It wasn’t taught in school. But they

probably, especially if they were from the South, they learned about it. But white folk like me had no idea what it was. So I really feel that we’re educating everybody else,” she said.

Van Hoey explained that Southfield’s first Juneteenth celebration came to be in 2021, when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into effect on June 17, 2021, declaring June 19 a federal holiday. Through the years, it has been the Southfield Historical Society’s mission to educate community members through efforts such as yard signs sharing the history of the holiday, honoring local influential African Americans and drafting educational booklets to inform and inspire.

This year is no different. The Southfield Historical Society invites residents to the barn at the Mary Thompson Farm at 6 p.m. June 18 for “Southfield Historical Society Profiles in Freedom.” Van Hoey will don period dress and depict the persona of Viola Liuzzo, a Detroiter who was the only white

around that. And Bowlero is also that color palette,” she said.

While her house is a mid-century marvel, she’s not afraid to switch things up or escape the era. She adds art and furniture that inspires her or simply because she likes it. In 2018, when redesigning Bowlero, originally built in 1957, Elliott sourced authentic vintage pieces from local antique malls and estate sales. Some of her favorite local vintage shops are Oddfellows in Berkley and Vogue Vintage in Ferndale.

Dale Allen Gyure is the chair of architecture and a professor in the College of Architecture and Design at Lawrence Technology University. Gyure teaches the history of architecture. He explained that before becoming chair, his favorite class to teach was 20th century architecture, since much of his research focuses on the 20th century. He added that he especially loves the ’50s and ’60s. Gyure stated that the clean lines and simplicity of mid-century modern design were born out of what was happening in the world at the time.

“In the early 20th century, the modernists were arguing to remove a lot of the clutter. Like, if you think of a 19th century Victorian house, there’s a lot going on there. The form of the house is really busy, there are parts sticking out and receding, there’s a really interesting skyline, usually lots of different roof angles; you go in the house, and

there’s all kinds of furniture with lots of carvings on it and patterns all over the carpet — the walls, the furniture, had patterns. It was just a riot of visual stuff happening,” Gyure said. “So they start to try to create architecture that doesn’t reflect back on history on styles, and is cleaner and sleeker. And it gets a little bit popular. But then, the early 20th century is a disaster. There’s two world wars. There’s a Great Depression, and all these things really hurt architecture. So roughly between the 1930s and 1950s, hardly anything gets built. And then when the world comes back around after World War II, and particularly the U.S., modernism is the way to go. Nobody in the late 1940s, early ’50s, in architecture is saying, ‘Let’s go back to the styles.’ They want to move forward.”

According to Gyure, mid-century modern design spans from roughly 1950 to about 1975. He shared that one of the most influential architects of the day was Asian American architect Minoru Yamasaki, who was based in Troy and Bloomfield Hills for several decades and designed the Reynolds Aluminum Regional Headquarters in Southfield. Yamasaki is near to Gyure’s heart, and he wrote a book on the comprehensive works of Yamasaki called “Minoru Yamasaki: Humanist Architecture for a Modernist World.”

Gyure encouraged anyone interested in mid-century modern design and architecture to take the tour. “Southfield has a great stock of mid-century buildings that are very fortunate to have a large number of commercial buildings, and not just by famous architects — sort of everyday commercial architecture from the ’50s, and ’60s. And you

can see it all over the place when you drive up and down the main streets in Southfield. A lot of cities don’t have that anymore.”

With only 55 seats on the bus, tickets are limited. Tickets can be purchased for $40 in advance and $50 on the day of the tour if available. Tickets may be purchased through

the Mayor’s Office at Southfield City Hall, 26000 Evergreen Road, or via PayPal to SFLDPublicArts@gmail.com. Checks may be made payable to the Friends of Southfield Public Arts.

he didn’t answer,” Caleb Nichols, the director of finance and operations at Schoenherr Roofing, said. “Then he called me back, and he was just extremely ecstatic that he was going to get a free roof replacement.”

The Owens Corning Roof Deployment Project was started in 2016 in partnership with the nonprofit Support Our Troops and Habitat for Humanity to “inspire, activate and match its network of independent Platinum Preferred Contractors with military families around the country to deliver and install a free, new roof,” states a press release.

“The OC roof deployment started back about five or six years ago,” Nichols explained. “Since then, they’ve done over 550 homes now for veterans in need. So that’s when Owens Corning, the manufacturer of the shingles, started doing it. And they’ve gone through Habitat since they started doing it themselves. So, about five and a half years. We’ve been doing it with Owens Corning for about the same amount of time, maybe a little less longer.”

He added that Schoenherr Roofing has done around four roof installations through the Habitat for Humanity and the Owens

Corning Roof Deployment Project, and that Schoenherr Roofing has also done multiple roof replacements independently for veterans in need.

Nichols’s favorite part of the free roof installation is watching the veterans’ reactions.

“They’re all unique in their own ways, but they all kind of have the same message of just overall joy and happiness,” he said. “Watching Michael, which is the homeowner that we’re doing the roof for today, he said it’s just brought so much energy to himself and his wife.’”

In 1970 and 1971, Johnson was in the Air Force, stationed in North Dakota, where he was the security person for the atomic missile sites. When he was in Vietnam, he was a tower guard.

“It’s interesting, because in 1968, I was involved in anti-war protests. And then a couple of years later, I was there,” Johnson said.

He explained that he entered the service when he was 19 years old.

“We were told never to volunteer, but I did anyway because I had a bunch of friends, we just graduated from high school. And some of them didn’t want to go to college. So, they joined the military. I was in college, but I thought that I wanted to just see the

world and do different things. How naive I was, but pretty much most of the guys I know have served.”

When Johnson returned home, it was a difficult adjustment because he had returned to a completely different world.

“When I got back home, it was kind of tough, because things had changed. There

weren’t any drugs in the community like they were when I got back. When I got back, I went to school and got my bachelor’s degree, master’s degree. And I’ve always worked two jobs. And I’ve had different businesses, like I used to be an insurance agent. I used to be a real estate appraiser.”

The free roof replacement came after three years of waiting and just in time to honor Southfield veteran Michael Johnson for Memorial Day.

He added that his time in the military taught him important skills, such as discipline, an eye for detail, and organization skills, which he carried with him in everything he did following his service.

“They’re not just veterans. They’re humans, just like anybody else. Being able to serve those who served you and your country — there’s no greater joy,” Nichols said.

Reflecting upon his time in Vietnam and receiving his new roof, Johnson realized that he had never really been thanked for his sacrifice until now.

“After all these years, this is the first time I’ve actually been hearing that. And so, yeah, I don’t feel bad. I don’t brag about it. I mean, I got buddies who wear their Vietnam gear all the time. And that’s fine. But I’m like a ‘I think I’ll just go under the radar’ kind of guy.”

Decades after serving in the Vietnam War, Michael Johnson expressed that this is the first time he’s truly been thanked for his service. Though Johnson prefers to fly under the radar, he couldn’t be happier about his new roof.

woman killed during the Civil Rights movement. Van Hoey shared that Liuzzo joined the NAACP after befriending a Black woman who was a part of the group.

“Then the march from Selma to Montgomery happened, and she said, ‘I’m gonna go down there.’ Well, she was driving some Black men back and forth. And the Klan was following her. There was an FBI agent, unconnected to her, following her car, and the Klan pulled up and shot her and shot the other people in the car, and she died. And she’s buried right here in Holy Sepulchre.”

The profiles will include depictions of Dr. Gladys West, Angela Davis, Sojourner Truth, Malcolm X and more portrayed by members of the Historical Society.

The Juneteenth Jubilee hosted by Southfield Parks and Recreation will be held at 4 p.m. June 16 on the municipal campus front lawn, 26000 Evergreen Road. The Jubilee is a free admission event featuring live music, cultural performances, local cuisine and activities for all ages.

“This is our second Jubilee,” Southfield

parks and recreation programmer Cathy Fresia said. “But it’s a great way to start learning about Juneteenth. We’re hoping a lot of our residents are getting educated as to Juneteenth … and the significance of it.”

Fresia said that there will be over 30 Black-owned business artisans and vendors at the Jubilee, and performances by local artists such as Comedian Crystal P., and singer DeLo and saxophonist Mike Elder, who are both Southfield graduates and residents; as well as spoken word artist Lashaun “Phoenix” Kotaran and music by DJ Deezy D.

Recreation on the Move will be there with games for the kids, and face painting will be available before the outdoor concert with Detroit RSVP AllStars begins at 7 p.m.

Fresia added that she was excited about this year’s new addition, “Walk with Your Hero,” which is a pre-event for the Jubilee to coincide with Father’s Day. The walk is led by Southfield Fire Chief Johnny Menifee and serves as a tribute to honor the heroes in our lives, including father figures, mentors and community leaders.

may need in the event of an emergency.

During and after severe weather, you and your family might need to survive on your own for several days, so having a threeday supply of food, water and other items is a necessity.

A basic emergency supply kit should include: a 72-hour supply of water, which is at least 1 gallon of water per person per day for drinking and sanitation needs; at least a three-day supply of nonperishable food per person; a manual can opener to open canned goods; a first aid kit; moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation; and household chlorine bleach and a medicine dropper to disinfect water.

The kit should also contain some basic tools and equipment including: a multitool, wrench or pliers to turn off utilities; a battery-powered or hand-cranked radio or a

NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert; extra batteries; a flashlight; local maps; paper and pencils; a whistle to signal for help; matches in a waterproof container; a fire extinguisher; a dust mask to help filter contaminated air; and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter in place.

Because every household is different, additional items can be added to your kit based on your individual needs, including: prescription medications; glasses and contact lens solution; infant formula, bottles, diapers, wipes and diaper rash cream; pet food and water; feminine supplies and personal hygiene items; a complete change of clothing appropriate for your climate; sturdy shoes; and maybe even some activities for children.

Cash or traveler’s checks and important family documents — such as copies of insurance policies, identification and bank account records saved electronically or in a waterproof, portable container — are other suggested items to have on hand.

“You just want to be prepared in case you lose power, have any damage to your house or anything like that. It’s always good to be prepared and have a kit ready just in case,” said Lindsay Schwan, a planner with Oakland County Emergency Management.

Once you’ve assembled your kit, your family should decide where to store it, so everyone knows where it is in the event of an emergency — ideally, wherever you plan to take cover. Canned food should be stored in a cool, dry place, and boxed food should be stored in tightly closed plastic or metal containers.

It’s also important to maintain your kit so that it’s ready when needed. That means
