These townhouses were always my favorite when I lived in WV. I always thought of them as so Bostonian, and I especially love the unit on the end.

P69rrh51 posted a picture of 31 Arden Park by Richard Marr in post #175 earlier in this thread.

The house was built for Dr. Albert H. Steinbrecher. Here's how it looked in 1916. I have not yet been in it; but judging from the 1st floor plan [[notice the oval foyer), it seems very nicely laid out.

J. Ivan Dise designed this house at 1559 Atkinson as his own home. I think it's one of the finest smaller Tutor houses in the city.

Here's another beauty by J. Ivan Dise. The house was designed for Lyford Moore. It's on the SW corner of LaSalle Blvd. and LaSalle Gardens South.




And here's it's view of LaSalle Gardens Park.

More Kahn homes.


1040 Iroquios built in 1906
1032 Seminloe built in 1906
1453 Iroquois built in 1909
610 Longfellow built in 1910
1466 Seminloe built in 1912
1507 Iroquios built in 1914
Entrance Gate to Beverly Road at Lakeshore built in 1914 Beverly Road Historic District Grosse Pointe Farms. Sometimes I think some of the historic districts include Kahn just to enhance their application. Beverly Road Historic District always has Kahn listed on the top of the list and this is the only work he did in the district.

Well, I have a PDF of George Mason's work, yet don't know how to attach it on here. It is 50 pages long...I guess if you want a copy, message me on here and I will send it via email.

[rusty pipes]

have you all seen this place??

http://detroit1701.org/BishopRes.htm

It's a cool place, but 39,000 sq'? Really?

I'd much prefer this one, taken by southofbloor on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/southof...@N00/lightbox/

Although it's a shell inside, it's retained enough of its original character to be a really, really stylin' place...and I love me a project.

Great to see the plans of these buildings - thanks for posting! Interesting passage extending back to the garage - an open trellis maybe?

Think I'll stick with my house built in 1909 in Islandview. Beautiful stained glass throughout, pocket doors, butler pantry built in woodwork cabinates, tiling and window seats throughout.

The odd thing is each room used different wood, oak, maple mahogony etc

Actually not sure if its "arts & crafts" or tudor rivival. I lean to arts and crafts because of the beautiful interior appointments, extended eaves with decorative supports, the exterior is a combination of brick, stucco, wood and a extended roofed porch, the third floor has 3 porticos. The original roof was slate.

This J. Ivan Dise house on Chicago Blvd., 3 doors west of LaSalle Blvd., is smaller but very similar to the one he designed for Lyford Moore at 7661 LaSalle Blvd. Sorry, I don't have the plans.
