VARIED HISTORY: From dance hall to funeral home to television studio is the prospect for the building at 310-312 Maynard St. The University has taken a 10-year lease on the Dolph Funeral Home to convert the structure into a TV headquarters, complete with offices and studios. The building until 1916 was the Granger Dance Academy, one of the most popular campus social gathering places.

Timber! The clam of a huge demolition crane deals a blow to Ann Arbor Recreation bowling alley at 605 E. Huron to make way for the 14-story Campus Inn. For many Ann Arbor residents the building, which was completely demolished Saturday, is representative of a by-gone era, since in the years before it was a bowling alley it was a popular dance hall. During the "Roaring Twenties," Ross Granger, local dancing teacher who was city treasurer for many years, constructed the building to house his dancing academy. Granger's was a popular evening spot for students and townspeople alike.
