We had the pleasure of an impromptu meeting with her while taking a tour of an art exhibit at Cranbrook last year! Delightful lady!!!

Can't wait to see if she participates in Art X Detroit this year!!

The Adler-Schnee store was located in Harmonie Park on the corner of Grand River & Center Street. Coaches' Corner is now in that spot. It was on two levels. the first floor and the basment. I remember it being the most fascinating store for high-end new design. It was the kind of store that if you wanted the type of merchandise that they carried, you had to go to their store to get it. No one else carried the things that Adler-Schnee sold.
