Lloyd H. Green, Post 147, of Northville, MI. was founded on March 15, 1919. The post is named after a young communications courier that was the only Northville resident casualty of the Great War. (WWI) The charter members and a growing membership met at various locations including facilities owned by Henry Ford. They wanted to establish a "Memorial Hall" that would be dedicated to assisting returning veterans and also serve as a community center. The Neal property, including a 2-story clapboard residence was purchased and a post fund raising campaign started in 1942. Two years later, $20,000 was raised to start the building renovation project. The existing structure was rotated, a basement was added and the entire building was covered with brick. The lower level was used for a lounge and kitchen facility, the first floor for event gatherings and the second floor was used as a temporary barracks apartment for returning or recovering veterans of WWII and Korea.

For many years, the American Legion post has served as a social center for the community and remains so today, dedicated to the fundamental principals of service, justice, freedom and democracy.
