Superior Street, the heart of downtown Albion, is one of Michigan’s few remaining brick-paved highways. A wealth of nineteenth-century commercial and residential architecture can be found in Albion’s National Historic District. This view shows the exact center of Albion, on the left, where Superior Street, and Cass Streets cross.
At this corner where the East side and West side meet, the North and the South meet, is Bournelis Park, and also the two-story Coca-Cola mural, which is not shown in this art. The Coca-Cola mural was last painted in 1991 and is due for another painting.
Tree-lined streets, seventeen parks and friendly people make Albion a popular stop in the Detroit-Chicago route. Annual events in Albion include the Cardboard Classic, Men Who Cook, Juneteenth, Fête de la Musique, Walk the Beat, Albion Labor Day Trail Walk, Festival of the Forks, and Albion Aglow.
This art is part of a larger view that was commissioned by the Albion Recorder and sponsored by Albion businesses and residents in 1993. The art and prints were to commemorate the renovation of the brick main street in 1993 and to encourage residents and visitors alike to patronize the participating establishments.
