In these photos of the Brewster-Douglass community, you can see more than buildings. You see daily life. Children playing outside, neighbors gathering, and a trio of stylish ladies

This was one of the first federally funded housing developments for Black residents in Detroit, and for many, it meant stability and opportunity.

It’s also where a young Diana Ross once called home.

At 2014 Hastings Street, a place called Sportree’s Music Bar, once handed out souvenir photo cards to its guests.

Inside one card: two couples seated at a table, dressed for a night out, drinks poured, music playing, and a moment worth saving.

The card advertised “continuous entertainment,” records for sale, and even sandwiches at the soda bar, capturing just a glimpse of everyday life along Hastings Street.

The Gotham Hotel stood as more than a place to stay. It was a destination.

At a time when segregation limited where Black travelers could go, this space offered comfort, elegance, and belonging.

In these photos of the Brewster-Douglass community, you can see more than buildings. You see daily life. Children playing outside, neighbors talking, and families creating routines together.

This was one of the first federally funded housing developments for Black residents in Detroit, and for many, it meant stability and opportunity.

This building is Second Baptist Church, one of Detroit’s oldest Black institutions.

Founded in 1836, it served as a stop on the Underground Railroad and later became a cornerstone of the community you see reflected here.

Generations passed through these doors for worship, organizing, and connection.

Even as the neighborhood has changed, this historic structure still remains, linking the past present and future.

These storefronts and crowded sidewalks are Hastings Street, the heart of Black Bottom.

From early morning to late evening, the neighborhood stayed in motion with people shopping, working, catching up, building lives and a community of their own.

Barbershops, restaurants, record stores, all Black-owned, all within reach.

This wasn’t just a busy street. It was a self-sustaining economy that built its block by block.

Detroit community,
The I-375 project remains on track, with construction expected to begin in Summer 2027 as MDOT continues final approvals and design work.
This project will transform the existing freeway into a boulevard, helping reconnect neighborhoods and create new opportunities for public space and economic growth.

Key elements include:
- Replacing the Gratiot Avenue bridge over Dequindre Cut
- Converting the I-375 and Jefferson interchange
- Building a boulevard south of Gratiot Avenue
- The project could create up to 9 acres of new land, with opportunities to restore historic connections and honor the legacy of Black Bottom and Paradise Valley.
- Community engagement will continue to guide design, land use, and future development.
