History of the St. Andrew's Society of Detroit

St. Andrew’s Society of Detroit graciously donated its historical records to the Burton Historical Collection of the Detroit Public Library. The library is located at 5201 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48202. Please visit or contact the Detroit Public Library for more information.
