Selfridge Field, Building NoS 242, 247, 250, 242 & 247 Birch St & 250 Wagner St Mount Clemens, Macomb County, MI

All were built from standardized plans and all played a central role in the lives of noncommissioned personnel stationed at the base. They also are excellent examples of the architectural expression that defined the character of the Cantonment area of the base, a style flourishing in the U.S. at the nation`s Sesquicentennial and inspired by Rockefeller`s Williamsburg re-creation...
