BiographyWilliam Barlum Thompson was born on March 10, 1860 in Detroit, the son of Thomas and Bridget Barlum Thompson.[1] He graduated from the public schools of the city, and in 1876 from Goldsmith's Business University, located in Detroit.[1] He went into the meat-market business with his uncle Thomas Barlum, became a partner with Barlum in 1880, and set off on his own in 1882.[1] In 1887 he married Nellie Hymes; the couple had nine children:[1] Mary (born 1888), Kathleen (1889), Irene (1891), William Grover (1892), Francis Leo (1895), Helen M. (1897), Edna L. (1899), Edith R. (1905), and Virginia M. (1909).[2] PoliticsWilliam Barlum Thompson was a Democrat,[3] and served as an alderman for two terms, from 1891-1894, but declined to run for a third term.[1] However, by popular demand, he ran again in 1896 and was re-elected.[1] In 1897, he was elected city treasurer and resigned his seat as an alderman.[1] He served as treasurer for nine years.[3] He was elected mayor twice, serving in 1907-1908 and again in 1911-1912. Later lifeThompson went into partnership with his cousin John J. Barlum, forming the Cadillac Square Improvement Company.[4] The company constructed a number of buildings around Cadillac Square, including the Barlum Tower (now Cadillac Tower), the Barlum Hotel (now New Cadillac Square Apartments), and the Lawyers Building.[5] William Barlum Thompson died in Detroit on February 12, 1941.[6] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{citation|title = The government of the city of Detroit and Wayne County, Michigan: 1701 to 1907, historical and biographical| year = 1907 |pages = 52–55 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Y6vhAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA52#v=onepage&q&f=false}} {{s-start}}{{s-off}}{{succession box |2. ^{{cite web | title = Thompson Archive | publisher = Rootsweb | url = http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/THOMPSON/2009-12/1260727491 | accessdate = November 2, 2010}} 3. ^1 {{citation | title = THE BOOK OF DETROITERS | author = ALBERT NELSON MARQUIS | year = 1908 | pages = 445–46 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=wEevJkgsgoYC&pg=PA445#v=onepage&q&f=false}} 4. ^{{cite web | title = History: New Cadillac Square | publisher = The New Cadillac Square Apartments | url = http://www.newcadillacsquare.com/history.html | accessdate = November 2, 2010}} 5. ^{{cite web | title = Cadillac Tower/Barlum Tower | author = Ren Farley | publisher = Detroit1701.org | url = http://detroit1701.org/Cadillac%20Tower.html | accessdate = November 2, 2010}} 6. ^{{cite news | title = WILLIAM B THOMPSON | newspaper = New York Times | date = Feb 13, 1941}} before=George P.
