APRIL 7 ISSUE ANSWERS (photo to right): This drawing of Church Street in Romeo might be the earliest image of Romeo the Romeo Historical Society owns. It was drawn by Sarah Nutting in 1850. The inscription on the back reads, “Our first home in Romeo, Michigan. Little Maria lived 18 Mos., and was buried to the left hand side. Libbie Dickinson on the south walk, on the north walk R. Ames on stilts and Will Chandler (pupils.)” Many will recognize Sarah’s house at the corner of Fremont Street and Church Street looking west. A closer look indicated that Church Street ended at Prospect. There is a fence at the bottom of the hill. At the top of the hill is the first Chandler residence which has been replaced with the large Greek Revival home with columns at the top (end) of Church Street. On the north side of the street is the Romeo Academy with the tower on it. This was the first version of the Congregational Church which was moved here when the second version of the Congregational Church was constructed. The present brick edifice is the third version. The Romeo Academy was also a branch of the University of Michigan for a period of time. The house to the left might be the Fremont home that is currently being redesigned.
