The picture and floor plans are of his own house which is on the SE corner of Atkinson and Woodrow Wilson. To me, it's one of the very finest smaller Tudor style houses in Detroit. Unfortunately, the exquisite details such as the pegged beams, variegated brickwork, and stained glass are not visible in this picture. [[The picture is from The American Architect, Jan. 5, 1928.)
If such houses are of interest to you, this one is well worth a drive-by. If you do go to see it, also notice the details [[windows, eaves brackets, overall proportions, etc.) on the two-story craftsman house across Atkinson which, sadly, is now vacant.
