In 1832, New York native Anson Brown erected the Exchange Block in what was then called Lower Town. He was determined to make this side of the river Ann Arbor's center. Where the Potawatami Trail crossed the Huron River a wooden bridge had been built in 1828 to carry traffic from Detroit and Pontiac to the village of Ann Arbor. Brown and his partners dammed the river upstream and built a flour mill next to the bridge.
The building is currently occupied by St Vincent de Paul.
