Photos Above and at Right: As the sign above the door indicates, this building was once the home of the "Petoskey Municipal Building." Then, the city moved their business into the new City-County building next door in the building on the right. Next, the city moved their connected business to the present facility, still [2023] on Lake Street, and next to the Bear River. After the city left this building, the building was occupied by the county's Friendship Center. Then, the Friendship Center moved to their present (2019) facility on Anderson Road in Bear Creek Township. Today this razed location is the home to Emmet County's building which was built as an addition to the county building on the right in the photo above.

The Emmet County "Property Search" Map below from 23 August 2023 shows that the Friendship Centers of Emmet County only owns 4.75 acres on Anderson Road; whereas the editorial above stated Emmet County was buying property for a new complex for the county's senior citizens. A 35-acre parcel south of Petoskey Holiday Inn would provide the organiztion with all the growing room it would need. According to the 2023 property search none of the parcels surrounding the outlined Friendship Centers property were labeled as owned by the Friendship Centers. Anyone who knows the history of the noted 35 acres from 1989 please inform this web master by clicking HERE.
