1871 CUSTOMS HOUSE PROJECT

Historical Significance

It has been the intention of the Township of Grosse Ile

to assist the Grosse Ile Historical Society in relocating

and restoring the 19th century U.S. Customs House to its

rightful location in the historical district of Grosse Ile.

It is important to preserve this structure which made such

a significant contribution as an early U. S. Customs House

and later as Grosse Ile's first U. S. Post Office.

With the financial assistance provided by the Coastal Zone

Management Act of 1972, administered by the Office of Coastal

Zone Management, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

and the Michigan Coastal Program, administered by the Department

of Natural Resources, Division of Land Resource Programs, the

necessary activities to return this structure to its original

status in the historical district began.

Proiect Activities

The 1871 Customs House Project as forwarded to your office

December 15, 1978, has progressed rapidly from its inception

toward its fruition:

1. Pre-relocation Phase

Much activity has taken place since the initial request by

Mr. C. Shafer for a firm commitment of title (see enclosure)

of the Customs House on December 20, 1978. It was necessary

to first obtain a lease agreement (copy enclosed) from the

Wayne County Road Commission, due to the fact that the future

site for the Customs House would utilize a portion of county

right-of-way. Once an agreement was prepared, activities

began in earnest for the actual relocation of the structure

from 7799 Macomb Street to the future museum site. At this

point, it was necessary to procure the services of a licensed

structural engineer to determine if the structure could with-

stand the act of being relocated. The J. G. Morris Company

was selected for this activity and findings by Morris Company

indicated the structure could withstand physical relocation

(see enclosure). Final pre-location activities of the Customs

House included the lifting or removal of Michigan Bell Telephone

and Detroit Edison Communication lines along the route.

Local assistance in accomplishing the relocation was

provided by Mr. Malmsten who permitted his vacant lot

to be cleared in order to move the house to its new

site. Later in the relocation, Mr. Sabo, a local buildert

permitted the structure to be tied into his development's

sewer lines.

2. Relocation Phase

Prior to physically relocating the building from Macomb

Street to the final museum site, advertising for experts

in moving historical structures was undertaken. After

close scrutiny, the firm of J. D. Porter House Mover,

Westland, Michigan, was selected to move the house, based

on his expertise in moving other historical buildings.

On April 26, 1979, the Porter firm had the utilities dis-

connected and transported the building to the East River

site. Once at that location., the structure was held,

waiting for preparation of foundation by the successful

bidder of the foundation program which was funded by Coastal

Zone Management.

3. New Site Development Stage

The bidders for the foundation were the A. J. Dupuis

Company, the William Krauss & Sons firm, and the A.M.A.

Building Company, Inc. (see attached bids). The plans

reviewed for bids were prepared by J. G. Morris Engineers.

The A.M.A. Building Company was awarded the contract and

the scope of service appears in the Coastal Management

Project Agreement LRP-76. The enclosed pictures depict

the activities which began April 24 in fulfilling the

scope of services at the construction site. All activities

prior to and during the location phase received close

scrutiny by the Grosse Ile Planning Commission, Planning

Coordinator, and Township Building Department inspectors.

Permits were taken and inspections and approvals were given

as site development phases progressed. The Township inspectors

found no fault with the routine construction and have approved

it accordingly.

The Township of Grosse Ile has supervised this project and

provided required expertise when necessary to bring the

project to completion. Grosse Ile Township also attests

to meeting the dictates of conditions outlined by state

and federal agencies.

Grosse Ile, Michigan 48138

Dear Mrs. Gannon:

This letter will confirm our previous discussions relating to
the former Warrow residence at 7799 Macomb Street, Grosse Ile.

The writL-r has previously examined this building to determine
the feasibility of moving it to another site. The building
is basically sound, and with proper shoring, can be moved
to a new site.

We will be in a position to prepare a new foundation plan for
you as soon as we complete field measurements of the building
and receive the new site plan for the proposed site from the
Township Engineer.

Yours very truly
