ARCHITECTURE

Architecture – We are fortunate to have film footage of so many Alden B. Dow’s designs.  In the 1960s he captured these interior and exterior views of his home and studio, several Midland structures and others throughout Michigan and beyond.  The Midland Center for the Arts and Delta College are showcased at their beginnings.  Sit back and enjoy close ups of construction, people enjoying the exquisite built environments and even catch a couple glimpses of Mr. Dow himself.

Movies

Midland Community Center & First United Methodist Church, 1960
Midland Area Architecture, 1960
Riecker House Construction, 1965
Midland Center For The Arts Construction, 1968-1970

LEISURE AND FAMILY TIME

Friends, kids, grandkids, what’s not to love?  We all have home movies but rarely sit down to watch them.  Alden and Vada Dow enjoyed capturing their treasured moments as parents and grandparents just like everyone else.  These films take us back as early as 1947, to when their kids were 12, 10 and 6, enjoying life at home and at Higgins Lake.  We even see Alden B. Dow snowmobiling with family and friends at their cottage.

Movies
Winter, Christmas, New Year, 1947
Cottage Grove, 1948
Higgins Lake, 1954
Higgins Lake (snowmobiling), 1968
