On-line Exhibit Shows Grosse Pointe Glitz
Ever wonder how the other half
lived in Grosse Pointe in the early
decades of the 1900s?
Puttin’ on the Glitz,
a new on-line
exhibit on the Grosse Pointe
Historical Society’s website,
www.gphistorical.org, gives a rare
glimpse into the personal lives of
Grosse Pointe’s rich and famous.
The simple-to-use exhibit features
numerous photos of Grosse Pointe’s
own auto baron families, their clas-
sic yachts, gracious homes, and
elegant lifestyles. Also available are
newspaper clippings, family trees,
and articles chronicling the glam-
orous and sometimes tragic lives of
Grosse Pointe’s social elite.
