Russell Woods-Sullivan Historical District is comprised of the area between Livernois, Davison, Dexter & Cortland.
It is a neighborhood comprised of Tudor Revival homes from the 1920s & 30s. There are a couple Colonial Revivals
& Moderne homes thrown in as well. Most of the homes are 2 1/2 stories & are brick.
The neighborhood was on the edge of the Jewish Quarter of Detroit, which was centered on Linwood just south of Davison.
On Dexter there were three Jewish synagogues within the neighborhood borders.
This is a collection of my experiences as a gay white male living in a black straight neighborhood. I live in a
1927 Tudor Revival with three bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths with a combined square footage around 3000ft². It's an awesome house
& provides me a lot of entertainment.
Currently I'm restoring the place... for two years now. I'm not even close to done. My boyfriend is about
ready to kill me, as we went from a 1100ft² apartment with no pets to this house with a Schipperke named "Kurakuma's Bouquet
of Roses" aka Boo & a rat terrier named Jackson. We were left two black kittens Rhiannon & Brigit by the mother
who abandoned them at a couple weeks old. I bottle fed them every two hours for a month. Rhiannon turned out to
be a girl, but Brigit was a boy. Never ask a lesbian to examine your kitten to see its sex. There is also a white
cat named Edina, who later turned into a boy as well, so we call him Eddie. I have three fish tanks on top of that.
