Description: The William Livingstone house of 1893 was one of Albert Kahn's first commissions. The first owner, Mr. Livingstone was president of the Lake Carriers Association for about 25 years; this organization pushed for improvements in shipping efficiency and safety. An art deco Lighthouse on Belle Isle was built to his memory and a ship navigation channel that was dredged near Boblo Island out to Lake Erie also bears his name. This picture taken in early March 2007 shows yet more damage to "slumpy" as it nears total collapse. Update: Less than a month after this photo was taken, most of the facade did collapse.
