Some of Constantine Street history had been written in previous articles in the history of other streets that intersect with Constantine Street. Many important sites at intersections are marked by DAR Historical Markers: City Hall at W. Michigan, La Salle Park, (now Rohrer Park) at South St. and Moab at Broadway. #112 is presumed to be the site of the 1828 cabin home of Jacob McEnterfer’s …
