In the early 1950s, Detroit’s population reached its all-time high of over 1.8 million people, and Black-owned businesses thrived. The Booker T. Washington Trade Association, an organization created to support and encourage Black businesses, claimed that Detroit had more Black-owned businesses than any other city in the nation (Detroit Free Press, March 3, 1953).
I have been telling the story of Detroit’s city planning history for years, sharing historic maps and images and some of his recent city photographs. In the last two years, his research has focused on Detroit’s Paradise Valley and Black Bottom neighborhoods. Freeway construction and urban renewal projects decimated these predominantly-Black neighborhoods in the 1950s and 1960s.
Upon discovering a copy of the 1952 Booker T. Washington Trade Association Community Business, Church & Professional Directory of Black-owned businesses at the Detroit Public Library, I started mapping them so there could be a public platform to share the names, business categories, and locations of these businesses. In my 40+ years as a city planner, I have learned that telling the story of a city often requires more than words and data. In this case, when someone can see a map of these businesses and can read the names, know the addresses, and learn the types of businesses that were located there, it is a much more powerful way to tell the story of the place.
This map is the result of hundreds of hours of work documenting the 2,500+ Black-owned businesses that existed in the city in 1952 in a spreadsheet and also mapping those located in a defined focus area, which includes Black Bottom, Paradise Valley, Brush Park, Medical Center (Sugar Hill) district, and the Cultural Center. In addition to a static map, this map is available in an online interactive format (see below). Clicking or tapping on a data point will reveal the name and type of business once located there. In addition, Rod hopes that historical information and photos from these businesses can be added to make the online map even more helpful and informative. Brief business stories and pictures can be emailed to him for inclusion.
The following summarizes the map of 1952 Black-owned businesses in Detroit (Link: https://bit.ly/1952-ParadiseValley-Map):
- Black Bottom, predominantly a residential area with some local retail and service businesses and institutional/religious organizations, had at least 60 Black-owned businesses.
- Paradise Valley, predominantly a business and entertainment district with residential uses, had at least 310 Black-owned businesses.
- The Medical Center district and the western part of Brush Park had at least 272 Black-owned businesses.
- The Cultural Center district had at least 200 Black-owned businesses.
These four subareas had at least 842 Black-owned businesses. Of these, at least 167 businesses had a Hastings Street address. Hastings Street was a significant business thoroughfare that originated as a Jewish business hub in the late 1800s and became a Black business corridor in the 1920s. Most of the 100+ blocks of Hastings Street were removed to construct I-75 and I-375.
Another key finding from this research is that one location had the highest number of Black-owned businesses in Paradise Valley, and the building still exists today. The Breitmeyer-Tobin Building, built in 1905 and located at the corner of Broadway and Gratiot, had 27 Black-owned businesses in 1952, comprising 9% of all Black-owned businesses in Paradise Valley. This building was originally home to John Breitmeyer Sons Florist (Phillip Breitmeyer, its president, served as mayor of Detroit from 1909-10). After falling on hard times, the building was successfully marketed to Black professionals in the mid-1940s as the “Best Professional Address.” (https://historicdetroit.org/buildings/breitmeyer-tobin-building)
See my separate post on Black-owned businesses and jazz clubs that were once located in lower Paradise Valley, an area now dominated by Comerica Park, Ford Field, and other restaurants and entertainment venues.
All map locations are approximate. The interactive, online version of the larger map also has a modern street base map; therefore, Hastings Street is not shown. The former Hastings Street location roughly aligns with the I-75 southbound service drive. St. Antoine, Brush, and Beaubien—and others—have been modified in alignment and continuity since the 1940s. The static map below the online map, showing the same larger study area, is on a 1940s-era base map.
The online map is embedded below.
