Ann Arbor Then and Now: It Was A Street Of Carnivals ~ S. Fourth Ave. and Washington St. was a favorite site for street carnivals in the good old days of uninhibited entertainment. That was before the corner building shown at the right in both pictures was built to house a meat market. Until recent years it was the home of the Milan Beef Co., and now is occupied by Sun Cleaners. The top picture was taken about 1890; the one below [this photo] recently. At the left background is the Allenel Hotel, formerly the Cook House.
