Note: West Road was originally called Pine until the 1940s. The 1933 & 1936 city directories describe Pine as running "from Detroit River, west to DT & IRR" (the train tracks just east of Fort Street). West Road was described as "continuation of Pine, west to [city] limits." However, Pine was the most commonly used name for this road, including the portion west of Fort Street, until the 1940s. As with Biddle and West Jefferson (which was called Washington Avenue before the 1930s), the address numbers prior to the 1930s do not match up with the address numbers today. And while both Biddle and West Jefferson have buildings which existed during both numbering eras (such as the Arlington Hotel and Trenton Hotel respectively), West Road was in its infancy during the Pine era. At any rate, I have put the information taken from pre-1930s sources at the beginning of the page, which is appropriate considering that all of these places were likely near the beginning of West Road, east of the viaduct (which was dedicated and opened to traffic on Friday, August 10, 1939).

The store features free delivery and will remain open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wirtel, married and the father of four children, said he built the hardware store because he felt there was a need for one in the area.

Wirtel invites all area residents to attend open-house ceremonies Friday between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m."

Frontage of about 600 feet on West Road [the distance from Grange to Newman Rd] and about 1300 feet along the east side of Grange Road [about the distance from West Rd to Margarette Drive] of the Richard R. Newman farm will be platted and prepared for construction of homes selling under $10,000 by the Carl R. Sams real estate firm of Detroit. (...) The subdivision, to be named the "Richard R. Newman Trenton Acres Subdivision"... (....) Newman, who lives at 3248 West Road, bought the property in 1915 for farming purposes. The subdivision will be served by large, deep sewers, now under construction, village water, lights, streets and curbs, and all village services." An obituary appeared for Newman in the May 3, 1972 Wyandotte News-Herald.

The News-Herald on February 12, 1975 ran a Wrigley ad for their two locations, "West Rd. & Allen Rd. Store" (this one, no address number given) and the "West Rd. & Grange Rd. Store" (also no number given, but it meant the one at 3400 West Road in Trenton). That store was gone by mid-1977, and this one likely left around the same time. This Wrigley's was actually the eastern portion of the K-Mart store at 19800 West (see below). The building had two front entrances: one in the middle (the K-Mart entrance) and one on the east side which was the Wrigely's entrance. When Wrigley's left (circa 1976), the eastern door diverted the customer into the K-Mart (the inner glass door of the eastern entrance was now blocked off). In the mid-1990s, the K-Mart was renovated (becoming a Big K-Mart store) and the eastern door and all the store's windows were walled up.
