A Michigan historic site in Harbor Springs is expected to be demolished next month despite a last-minute effort to save the building. It was built in 1913 to house an Indian Boarding School run by the Catholic Church.
The church owns the building, but members of tribes all over Michigan, and even beyond, have some claim to its history.
Plans for the new building have been in the works for years. But this summer the impending demolition dug up old wounds for some former students, and while some welcomed the wrecking ball, others felt the building’s demise would also erase the building’s history.
IPR’s Linda Stephan visited Harbor Springs, and filed this report.
