No trace of Cedar Bank, nor of several neighboring streets to the west in Lansing Township, remains today.\u00a0By around 1920, Cedar Bank had become the site of the East Lansing city dump, which remained active until the late 1940s or early 1950s. Substantial portions of the northernmost lots were condemned by the state highway department circa 1927 for construction of the\u00a0Michigan Avenue boulevard<\/a>. Ultimately the rest of the land was acquired by M.S.U. and beginning in 1954 was replaced by the Brody Neighborhood of residence halls. Today, the former intersection of Almond and Eliza Streets is on the lawn just south of Butterfield Hall\u2019s north wing.1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n
