 medical clinic, charitable organization
In 1953, Irene M. Auberlin, a Detroit housewife, was inspired by the plight of a single war orphan during the height of the Korean War to mobilize her friends and family to collect food, baby clothing, cribs, and medicines to ship overseas. Her original goal, to help one small boy, quickly turned into a much larger mission: relieving the pain and suffering of an entire orphanage. From there, her mission continued to grow, into one of the most respected and wide-reaching medical charitable organizations today.

The eight story building was formerly the Cadillac Storage Company Warehouse
