Transcriber Comment

Article titled "The Iroquois Club. An Organization of Detroit Colored Men, Where Comradeship and Good-Will Prevail."

The article said that the club was "organized about five years ago" and had about 300 members, including some of the most prominent Black professionals in the city. The officers at that time were William E. Stone (president), George H. Owens (vice president), Michael Park (manager), W. M. Pfeiffer (secretary), Charles G. Smith, and Charles H. Stone.

The address for the club was given as "304 St. Antoine street, near Adams avenue." Note that Detroit's street numbering system changed in the year 1920, and the address for this location changed. The modern address for this location would be at or near 1922 St. Antoine St., which was later the location of the Biltmore Hotel.
