Monday/yesterday/day 308 was a pretty quiet work day. I went on a tour with an MLive reporter in the morning of two buildings in downtown Saginaw that have been in the local news quite a bit recently. The Bancroft and Eddy buildings have changed hands over the years, and most recently it seems they were both assisted living homes. They've been closed down for a while, but have recently been bought by an investment/construction group that are renovating the buildings and hoping to turn them into upscale apartments in order to bring more people/business back to the downtown area. The décor left over from the last owners was all pretty outdated, but the grand ballroom in the Bancroft building had some beautiful detail work still intact. Luckily the group is planning on retaining as much of the buildings' historical significance as possible, and have some nice plans to restore the ballroom as well.
