  • The Brush Park Historic District, frequently referred to as simply Brush Park, is a 22-block neighborhood located within Midtown Detroit, Michigan and designated by the city. It is bounded by Mack Avenue on the north, Woodward Avenue on the west, Beaubien Street on the east, and the Fisher Freeway on the south. The Woodward East Historic District, a smaller historic district completely encompassed by the larger Brush Park neighborhood, is located on Alfred, Edmund, and Watson Streets, from Brush Street to John R. Street, and is recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. Originally part of a French ribbon farm, Brush Park was developed beginning in the 1850s as an upscale residential neighborhood for Detroit's elite citizens by entrepreneur Edmund Askin Brush. Dozens of Victorian mansions were built there during the final decades of the nineteenth century, and Brush Park was nicknamed "Little Paris" due to its elegant architecture. The neighborhood's heyday didn't last long, however: by the early twentieth century most of is affluent residents started moving to more modern, quieter districts, and Brush Park was quickly populated by members of Detroit's fast-growing working class. Severely affected by depopulation, blight and crime during the 1970s and 1980s, the neighborhood is currently experiencing restorations of its historic buildings and luring new residents. (en)
  • El Distrito Histórico de Brush Park, a menudo denominado simplemente Brush Park, es un vecindario de 22 cuadras ubicado en Midtown Detroit, Míchigan y designado zona histórica por la ciudad.​​ Limita con Mack Avenue al norte, Woodward Avenue al oeste, Beaubien Street al este y Fisher Freeway al sur.​​ El Distrito Histórico de Woodward East, un distrito histórico más pequeño completamente abarcado por el vecindario más grande de Brush Park, está ubicado en las calles Alfred, Edmund y Watson, desde Brush Street hasta John R. Street, y está reconocido por el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos.​​ Entre los arquitectos que diseñaron sus inmuebles se encuentran George D. Mason, Albert Kahn y Louis Kamper. Parte de una de las granjas de lotes largos originales de Detroit, Brush Park se desarrolló desde la década de 1850 como un vecindario residencial exclusivo para los ricos de Detroit por el empresario Edmund Askin Brush. Allí se construyeron decenas de mansiones victorianas durante las últimas décadas del siglo XIX, y el sitio fue apodado Little Paris (Pequeño París) debido a su arquitectura afrancesada.​ Sin embargo su apogeo fue corto: a principios del siglo XX, la mayoría de los residentes adinerados comenzaron a mudarse a distritos más modernos y tranquilos, y Brush Park se pobló de miembros de la clase trabajadora de rápido crecimiento de Detroit. Como el muchas otras zonas de la ciudad, durante las décadas de 1970 y 1980 un fuerte deterioro se apoderó del vecindario y en el los años 2010 solo quedaban 70 de las 300 mansiones que llegó a tener.​ Recientemente algunas casas han sido restauradas y nuevos residentes de han instalado en inmuebles recién nuevos.​​ (es)
