Here's a building with the fence that Tom Sawyer persuaded his gang to pay him to whitewash. 07-08

(Below) Here is a small Anheuser-Busch building on Jefferson, just east of the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit. The building is simple but elegant and the Anheuser-Busch logo overhead did not hurt. It always seemed to be the perfect subject for a HO Scale model railroad structure kit. The first three pictures were taken on a cold overcast February 1986. About four years ago, someone had stolen (Or purchased?) the carved Anheuser-Busch logo. This building has now shown up in the list of Detroit buildings scheduled for demolition in 2008. Many thanks to Richard Weiss for info. 07-08

(Below) Check out the Annheuser-Busch building in Grand Rapids, MI. This building is somewhat curious as the entire structure, including logos, is made of terracotta. 07-08
