Bonus Mystery Spot: Ypsilanti's Schad Block

Here's a picture over at the Bentley that stumped me. I have no idea where the Schad Block was or is, and the clues in the pic help not.

You can see the tobacco store on the left (complete with "wooden Indian" out front. To the left there's the Huron Woolen Co. and something-something millinery shop.

The main building has a distinctive asymmetrical peak, but I'll be hornswoggled if I can puzzle out where this is and the city directories aren't helping!

The cool thing, however, is that you can zoom in super close...close enough to see that the road is littered with road apples, ew. Horsie at right. Spitballin' the date at...oh, 1890 or so? This pic has me thoroughly fuzzelated and swing-bungled, yessir.
