Buffalo Street Commune

From ArborWiki

The Buffalo Street Commune, as it appeared in 1975.

The Buffalo Street Commune existed at 113 Buffalo Street, a few blocks south of downtown Ypsilanti in 1975. An article from The City News in March of that year reported that the commune had 13 people living in the house, with about 6 more claiming membership, as well as "8 acres of land south of Ypsilanti".

The article notes Gary Sawatski as the founder and business manager of the co-op; other members are only identified by first name in the article: "Jimmy, an English rugby player", and "Rose Ann, the commune's cook".
