content: The report was prepared by the Detroit City Plan Commission in 1944 and completed in 1946. The purpose of the report was to complile, for each subdivision in the City of Detroit, what uses were permitted by deed restrictions. Race restrictions were compiled, but were not mapped and that information is not included in the report. This report does not contain any maps, only lists of subdivisions with correalting map numbers. Included are examples of forms such as the Federal Housing Administration's mortgage insurance requirements, and a sample deed with restrictions for Indian Village (1943).
