Mellus Newspapers Building
Mellus Newspapers Building, Art Deco newspaper building in Lincoln Park, Michigan
The Mellus Newspapers Building at 1661 Fort Street featured white porcelain enamel panels and curved glass block sections framing the entrance.
William S. Mellus constructed this building in 1941 to house his Lincoln Parker newspaper, which operated until merging with Heritage Newspapers in 1986.
The structure published several community newspapers including The Allen Parker, Ecorse Advertiser, Southgate Sentinel, Taylor Tribune, and Riverview Sentinel.
The building expanded to 4,080 square feet in the 1950s with a two-story addition to accommodate growing newspaper operations.
The Lincoln Park Downtown Development Authority purchased both the Mellus and adjacent Pollack buildings for $93,000 in 2009 before demolition in 2010.
