Background
The first step in creating a complete census of the historic houses in the
township was just computer work using Zillow and the Oakland County Property
Portal. This gave us a rough list of properties. Next we needed to field check
and get actual photos of the houses. So Linda and I decided that we would walk
all the roads in the township and take pictures! Doesn’t seem so difficult.
The rough estimate for roads is less than 84 miles (6 miles x 6 miles = 7 lines
of 6 miles vertically and horizontally). Unlike many townships, Rose doesn’t
have roads on all section lines, hence it’s less than 84. Also, there is no
need to walk the “new” neighborhoods because they won’t have historic
homes.
