STERLING HEIGHTS — This photo shows the front of a log cabin on Maple Lane Road (between 14 Mile and 15 Mile roads), with the cabin’s door tucked beneath an overhang and a silo visible nearby.

At the time, the structure was believed to be Sterling Heights’ oldest home — built in the French style and possibly 200 years old. The cabin and silo were destroyed by fire in July 1971.
