Does anyone know, was this ever a Detroit Symphony Showcase house? I went to one with my mom YEARS ago [[this would've been maybe 1993 or 1994 at the latest), which I know was a half-timbered tudor at...

Holy crap!!! Burbrook [[Marcus Burrowes' personal residence in Farmington Hills, which we've all lamented as very likely beyond hope) has been completely restored!!! The listing says it's not for...
Fair point. To wit: growing up, my pediatrician operated his office out of his house, which was right at the corner of Parkside and 7 Mile. Granted that makes it Sherwood Forest and not PW, but I...

FOR SALE! I've loved this house for decades. There are one or two
discrepancies in the listing [[ie the text says it was designed in 1919,
while the record section says it was built in 1922), but...
Ah, yes, timelines, he would've been gone years before the house burned. I wasn't even thinking. Thank you! [mildly embarrassed]
Palmer Woods-ish question: Does anyone know, after William Fisher's Palmer Woods mansion burned, where he moved to? Did he stay local? Was the new house of any architectural significance?
Uch, one of my favorite Pointe houses! Damn living on the East Coast!!!
There was never a hotel across Woodward from the Holiday Inn Express in Birmingham. Prior to it being a Holiday Inn, that building housed a different hotel, and across the street was just the rear...
Thank you, someone gets it! :D
Um, you guys? I found Jimmy Hoffa...

Oh, and to throw my hat into the ring, 1350 Wellesley in Palmer Woods. My parents owned it before I was born [[6000 square foot Wallace Frost mansion purchased in either 1969 or 1970 for, I believe,...
Any way to know what house that actually is, if it's still standing? It almost looks like the PW Fisher house that burned down, except in that photo it's obviously surrounded closely by other...
...Except unless there was SIGNIFICANT post-completion modification [[full third story and half fourth story added, entirely new limesone facade built on)... that's not the Lemuel Bowen house. This is...
Again with the going back through archives. Sick of me yet? :p
The long, narrow house with the perpendicular garage in the photo in that attached article is at 400 Dunston Rd in Bloomfield Hills....
Just snorted coffee out my nose. Thanks for that. ;)
Eh, I figured that was probably the case. Thanks!
Really? I never knew that one! Thank you yet again!!! :D
I had no idea he was still working that late into the century, thank you for the info!
I'll probably kick myself for not knowing [[or possibly forgetting), but where is/was the third house?
There's a lot of discussion on here about Detroit neighborhoods, both present-day and gone by, so I figured this might be the best place to ask!
In the late 1940s, my grandparents built a house on...
Alfred Taubman house, 1485 Kirkway Rd, Bloomfield Hills. Virtualglobetrotting.com says it's an Alden Dow design, but I'm a little dubious as Zillow says it was built in 1965, where most of Dow's work...
That looks very familiar, thank you, it's possible that that's the one!!! Not sure what we'd have been doing over there, but by sight if not geography, that may be it!
Thank you everyone who...
