DETROIT, MI — The piles of outdated bricks dug up alongside Detroit’s Beaufait Road may appear like trash to some, however to Jeff Cowin and his neighbors they’re treasures to be saved.
Teaming up with DTE Power, which wanted to excavate the realm for a brand new energy substation, Cowin just lately helped rally dozens of volunteers to salvage 1000’s of the century-old Nelsonville Block pavers for a particular function: restoring one in all Detroit’s final remaining brick streets.
