I recently came across some children's art that would have hung in my mother's nursery in the mid to late 1930s. The back is stamped "Cora Case Art Studio Detroit Miami Beach." Does anyone know anything about the history and former location of this studio? I am attaching a sample of one of the paintings, painted on glass with what looks like pressed grass and fibreglass in the background. case

I can find no listing for that studio in my '29 or '40 Detroit City Guide. Maybe it came and went in between.

1930 U. S. Census has only one "Cora Case" living in Detroit, but she is an 11-year old girl, daughter of an auto plant pressman. Family address is at 791 Canfield (doesn't say E or W).

No one by that name living in Florida.

The house that Case family lived is long gone.
