Just Because Boutique opened in Northville in 2012. It has always operated from 142 N. Main St., but received a new owner in 2018. (The Leader-Herald/Charles Erickson)
NORTHVILLE The local historical society here once produced posters which convey in words and photos the commercial narratives of different buildings. Some of these are affixed to the structures and some are displayed through windows.
At 142 N. Main St., in the building that long ago hosted the Hard Pan Store, a poster lists the other enterprises which have traded there since the place was built about 171 years ago. There have been assorted businesses, including two beauty shops, a movie theater, a gift shop, a chapter of the Golden Rule Lodge, a barber shop and the offices of a utility company.
