LADIES' LITERARY CLUB HOUSE This house, built prior to 1842 by
Arden Ballard, has been recognized by the Historic American
Building Survey as a model of Greek Revival architecture. The house
was purchased by the Ladies' Literary Club in 1913.
From the Michigan State Historical Office website:
The Ladies Literary Club is one of the most attractive and
prominently placed examples of Greek Revival architecture in
Ypsilanti. The home was probably built by Arden Ballard for William
M. Davis in approximately 1843. Private residents owned the
property until 1913 when it was purchased by the Ladies Literary
Club. Currently in use by the club, the building remains a
well-maintained and architecturally interesting structure.
Visit Instructions:Take a photo of your GPS at the marker. We'd prefer a photo of you
with your GPS, but we realize that sometimes that's just not
possible or preferable. Also include a bit about your visit to the
marker.
NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.
If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must
provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored.
(This should be the waymark's "default" image). Indicate in your
log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of
the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still
include a bit about your visit to the site.
