Frederick Buhl House on West Fort from Burton Historical Coll

I stumbled across a listing on ebay for an 11-piece parlor suite attributed to Alexander Jackson Davis...the architect made famous for his Gothic styled residences [[see Lyndhurst in the Hudson River...

Totally agreed! This is the most basic write-up of historic homes in Detroit ever.

Yes, I agree....The Renaud and the Touraine on Second and Hancock are pretty decent for the money. There was even some parking behind the buildings.

It looks as though it's many years as boarding house took it's toll. Not a lot of crown moldings...and Italianate style homes like this would have had massive, elaborate ones. No overmantles...

Isn't there one in Hamtramck? Not sure if it's original, but it was called The Clock.

If you had ever been inside the Hecker mansion, then you'd see why they are asking that price. It has the most incredible interior i have ever laid eyes on...better than the Whitney mansion farther...

Thanks for the amazing work here rob! These two homes where by Alexander Jackson Davis?! Are you kidding me? They certainly look like his work..italinate with a somewhat gothic element. What a...

Does anyone know where the Daniel Scotten home was on Vinewood...all I can find is that it was near Fort Street around Hubbard Farms area. A lot of the Victorian era homes north of 75 are still...

No wait, they're still there...if you go to google and do a street view on Peterboro between Second and Cass on the southside...they are the only aparments left.

It's probably empty because the building has been demolished...along with the house and the taller apartment building next door!

Pewabic still has the original molds and drawings from the Scott fountain. They replaced a 10-15' freize on the fountain 15 years or so ago. Then someone coated it with white latex to stop some...

I have a friend that works for Pewabic and he's told me that some of the glazes she used to use are VERY poisonous...I believe some are actually radioactive. Weird.

What a gorgeous plan...I love that large central hall with the symmetrical windows and french doors. I bet the fireplace was huge! Wonder why he left the Woodward Ave home? Was Woodward becoming...

Neilr that is amazingly beautiful.

Is this 1921 Sanborn map online anywhere? I'd like to see Palmer and Kirby as well.

Oh, I just found a picture of Waton Freer's house with a 59 on the archway. Good job Hornwrecker!

Nice Hornwrecker. Thank you. That does help with what was next to Charles Freer's house...3 plots. From the looks of the site plan the last one on the corner [[111 or 59) looks the most like Watson...

Here is a neat shot showing the Italianate Victorian home on Kirby and Woodward [[where the Park Shelton is), the Stephenson home farther down Woodward, and in the far distance you can see the Hecker...

The House you are talking about is the Albert Stephens home...built in 1890 on the SE corner of Ferry and Woodward...next to the Hecker House. It was designed by George Mason. The Buildings of...

I went to CCS and lived on East Palmer for quite a few years, I walked by the chained off parking lot on John R and Ferry nearly everyday. I have never been able to figure out when the original ...
