Located on College Hill with a panoramic view of the valley, this brick structure was built by the Teays Valley Baptist Association. Named for T. M. Shelton, who help to fund the building, it was originally called Coalsmouth High School. Senator William E. Chilton and two West Virginia University presidents attended the school. In the 1940’s, after being abandoned for many years, Dr. R. S. Hamrick removed the third floor and created a beautiful residence. The home remains a private residence today owned by the Delaney family.

This place marks the location of what was once The Haunted Pillar of the Lower Market; a marker placed near the site explains the pillar’s history. The Lower Market closed in 1891, but the pillar remained a popular tourist destination until December 2016, when it was unfortunately hit by a car. There are plans to begin reconstruction in the near future.

Dedicated a century after his death, this plaque recognizes Deputy Albert Anderson who was murdered on August 12, 1917. On that night, Oakland County Deputy Sheriff Anderson was present at Nine Mile Road and Woodward Avenue when he discovered a suspicious man in front of a nearby business. Anderson attempted to question the individual, but the man moved away and shot the deputy and then fled the scene. The police discovered that the individual had burglarized the business and stole a small number of coins. The case was never solved but this plaque was dedicated a century later and is located among several other plaques and memorials, including a plaque recognizing Vincent Chin and the formation of the civil rights organization American Citizens for Justice.
