The picture from the early 1960's of the Star Duo Trailer Factory located on South Broadway. The factory sits on the site of the old Peerless Cement Factory.
Note - Made a correction on the location of the Star Duo Trailer Factory offices, originally had the office's located on Crane Street. An email from Stan Smith noting that the location should be South Broadway. Looking at the 1959 Robinson's Branch County, Michigan Directory ....notes; Star Mobile Homes, Inc., Homer Kidwell V-President & General Manager; 501 South Broadway, Union City; telephone number Pioneer 1-4111.
The picture of the Riverside Hotel is the site where the first house trailer manufacturing was done in Union City at Duo Coach.
Comment from my brother Mart - The building was razed in the 1930's. A new building was constructed. Gerald Davison began a trailer factory there before a string of others. It is now Union City Industries.
The picture of where the first house trailer manufacturing was done in Union City at Duo Coach. The factory is located on the property where the Riverside Hotel was located. The picture was probably from the early to mid 1950's. Currently Union City Industries, Inc. resides in the building.
