This real-photo postcard shows Post 1 P.L.A.V. — the Polish Legion of American Veterans hall — in Hamtramck, dated Sept. 24, 1938.
A Hamtramck Review letter says the building was built by World War I veterans in 1925 and served as the organization’s home for decades.
The crisp brickwork, tall arched windows and street-corner entrance make it look like more than a “clubhouse” — it reads like a community anchor in a fast-growing immigrant city.
Do you remember events here, or have family stories tied to P.L.A.V. halls in Hamtramck?
