One of the first signs that the westward expansion of Packard has become a reality with the razing of this turn-of-the-century house on the west side of S. Main at the present foot of Packard. The house was built by merchant Philip Bach - after whom a local elementary school is named - but has not served as a private home for years, having served as one of the first local fraternity houses, later as the sales office of the former Staebler-Kempf Oil Co., and most recently as a foreign car garage and showroom. Old gasoline pumps may be seen in the foreground.

The newly opened Gandy Dancer restaurant has followed the owner's previous philosophy of "unique settings" for restaurant operations. Two of the old benches used in the waiting room by Penn Central Railroad customers remain in the main dining room. The solid brass light fixtures were brought in from the closed portion of the Penn Central station in Detroit. The 24-foot-high ceiling still contains the inlaid solid oak floor, which, of course, now has been refinished.
