Where was this apartment building and can someone post a picture of the place? There was a gangland massacre there back in 1927 or 28. |

There was also another gangland apartment massacre-the Collingwood Apartments Massacre in 1926 perpetrated by the notorious Jewish Purple Gang. Hymie Paul, Joseph Lebovitz & Izzy Sutker were set-up & executed for going against the gangs authority. Check out The Violent Years-Prohibition and the Detroit Mob & The Purple Gang-Organized Crime In Detroit 1910-1945. fascinating reading especially for a nice Jewish boy like me. |
