dc.description	Before the Battle Creek Tower — which was previously named Wolverine Tower and before that Central National Bank Tower — there was the Marjorie Block, so named for C.W. Post's daughter and business empire heir, Marjorie Merriweather Post. The block at the intersection of McCamly Avenue and what was West Main Street (now Michigan Avenue) was home to several businesses, among them the Martin Needlework Shop, the Charles J. Wells millinery and the Royal Billiard Parlor. At the right of the frame is the roof of First Presbyterian Church, which was built in 1896 and served the congregation until 1928, when the church on Northeast Capital Avenue was built. The Marjorie Block was razed in 1930 to make way for the bank tower.	en_US
