About
This building in southwest Grand Rapids, Michigan, was once the source of a large percentage of the world's flypaper, where it was manufactured in 1885 under the brand name "Tanglefoot." The building is better known now as the site of several artists' studios and was an exhibit site for the city's annual Artprize competition.
Today, the majority of the space is used as the private working studio and galleries of both Michael Pfleghaar and Tommy Allen.
