I have been told that my 3rd great grandfather, Charles Bartholomew Seitz, carved the grand oak staircase and possibly other woodwork in the Palmer cabin. Do you have any official information on this?

My mother’s family, the Grix family,left Germany in the 1870s to avoid the draft and came to
Detroit where they purchased rural farm land. That farmland was located between what is now John R and Woodward, Six and Seven Mile road across the street from Senator Palmer’s property now known as Palmer Park Remnants of their time farming the land can be found in the current street names, Grixdale, and Hildale (a cousin) There was enough land for 6 of the seven brothers to farm and have homes but not enough for the youngest, my grandfather who settled in the city a block from the river (now the site of the Riverwalk carousel). My mother used to take the interurban train out Woodward avenue to visit her “country cousins.” Since they were neighbors, her uncles knew Senator Palmer very well. In fact, when he died, they served as pall bearers at his funeral.

I caught the Davison bus to Woodward and the Woodward bus to the park because all the tennis players had started playing there. I would cry on the days it would rain because I could not play tennis. I was 15years old and we played on court 9. I was taken in by the players at the park who helped me become better. I remember the tennis courts being so crowded that there was a Detroit Rec attendant housed in a booth who would give out permits for an hour. Because we were regulars he just gave us one for Court No. 9 for the whole time we were there. We had clout. I played from 9am to 12am during the summer. We had lights then. We ate at Ted’s on the Park across the street. I could say a lot more, but I will put it in my novel.

Palmer Park Tennis Courts to this day is my happy place.

My parents managed an apartment that was at the end of Manderson Rd., right next to the park. I always loved going to the park and seeing the log cabin. After my children were born, I always took them to the park. At that time, there would be musical concerts in the park. Everyone would bring their blankets or lawn chairs and listen to the concert. It was a wonderful place to spend hot summer nights sitting on a blanket and enjoying the cool breeze from the trees. My parents moved there in the 1950′s. You may contact me by email.

I remember Sundays full of softball, laughter and waiting for someone to knock it outa the park on to Woodward and dont forget the Fish sandwich man … with his smile and story …..! Any other day but Sunday enjoying a Few Dutch Girl Donuts in the park! It Is a beautiful place, families playing tennis, walking and riding bikes in the park. Palmer Park just needs some TLC and People to appreciate it all its History. Its one more pf Detroit’s last diamonds in the ruff!
