A hallmark of Nettleton & Kahn's domestic work were the elaborately carved porticos, which can be found on several homes throughout the area. The Headley residence is my favorite of these designs. #Detroit #NorthEndDetroit #JacobeanRevival #RenaissanceRevival #EnglishArchitecture #AlbertKahn #GeorgeWNettleton #NettletonandKahn #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhousesoldandnew #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter (at North End) https://www.instagram.com/p/CosTpwsvN9O/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Shared from @debbdebb101 . Black Point Estate and Gardens One of my favorite stories from our guided tour of this magnificent Victorian “cottage” involved the children of the household. When the kids were young, they all ate at the table on the back porch. When they turned 12 or so, each child was given a young goat to tend. If they could keep the goat healthy and fed and cleaned up after it for the entire summer, then they “earned their place” at the table- the big table in the grand dining room with all the adults. If the goat didn’t make it, then one more year eating on the porch with the other kids. (Er, children, not goats!) Hearing stories like this, and learning that one of the parents would play the song “Skedaddle!” when it was time for the kids to run up to bed, helped me better envision the real family that used to live here. . By the way, this house is still accessible only by boat. It must’ve been an enchanting place to grow up! . #travelwisconsin #lakegeneva #blackpointestate #queenanne #queenannevictorian #victorianhouse #victorianhome #archi_ologie #theamericanhome #oldhouselove #historichouse #houses_ofthe_world #total_houses #victorianarchitecture #iloveoldhouses #housesofinstagram #fx_hdr #joyful_pics #fav_squares #midwest_captures #hey_ihadtosnapthat #theamericanhome #ipulledoverforthat - #brickstory, #storyteller (at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2NXwj2g312/?igshid=1sqboizjjge4c

“Regrann from @perkinshouse of the Leamington Stewart House, a Queen Anne built in 1895. The home is based on Design No. 53 from George F. Barber’s “The Cottage Souvenir No. 2,” a pattern book/catalog originally published in 1891. One of the most successful domestic architects of the Victorian period, Barber’s plans were used for houses in all 50 U.S. states.”

🏡 🇺🇸📷 @drum679 The Coonley Estate was built between 1908-1912. It is located on a peninsula of the Des Plaines River. The estate is considered to be one of the most elaborate Frank Lloyd Wright designs. It is one of 3 multi-building complexes designed by Wright. It features Wright's mature Prarie style, the interior melds with the outdoors and features art glass, with interrelated buildings among sunken gardens. #midmodmondays #prariestyle #franklloydwright #architecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #houseportrait #beautifulhouseoldandnew #streets_and_houses #be_one_houses #houses_the_world #americanarchitecture #oldhousecharm #historichouse #theamericanhome #brickstory #houses_phototrip #casasecasarios #total_houses #fever_building #igbuildings #flwfriday #flw #riversideil #enjoyillinois #visitillinois #yesvisitoakpark #igerschicago #chiarchitecture http://bit.ly/2DYHPG2

544 East Frederick Avenue was built in 1890 for John J. Owen, a contractor/builder. Like its neighbor at 580 East Frederick (Warren House/Dunbar Hospital), it was built by the Vinton Company. Bertha Alena Hansbury was born in Detroit in 1888. Reportedly, she was born on the site of the Fox Theatre. Hansbury was the product of multi-ethnic parents, a White mother and Black father. After attending the city’s public schools, she attended the prestigious Detroit Conservatory of Music. She then studied music abroad in Germany. In 1925, Hansbury and her husband, William H. Phillips, purchased the former Owen home. Hansbury, an accomplished pianist, founded the Hansbury Music School, which catered to the needs of African American children in the area. At the same time, Hansbury also ran a boarding school inside the home called the Bertha Hansbury Little Folk's School. Unfortunately, the Hansbury School was short-lived and didn't survive the economic strife of the Great Depression. In the 1930s, the home was the site of the Household Guild, the first state-licensed employment agency for blacks in Detroit. In the 1970s, Hilanius Phillips, who was the city's first black head city planner (and the grandson of Bertha Hansbury), championed the establishment of the East Frederick Avenue Historic District, which included structures of great importance to the African American community in Detroit and to the development of the Cultural Center. Multiple attempts to convert the home into a museum have stalled. #Detroit #CulturalCenter #MidtownDetroit #QueenAnne #VictorianArchitecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhousesoldandnew #deserve2preserve #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter #SavingPlaces (at Cultural Center Historic District, Detroit) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpOpvtcD_Ev/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Shared from @historicminnesota . The Laverty-Martindale House is known as the best example of the Italianate style in La Crosse. Thomas Laverty started building a house on the site in 1859 but was unable to finish it when he returned home disabled from serving in the Civil War. In 1868, Stephen Martindale purchased the house and completed it. More additions and alterations were made in 1884, and the home remained in the family until 1977. Just imagine all the land that surrounded this house when it was first built. It really has the feeling of an old farmhouse, and maybe that's why I love it so much. The yellow and white exterior helps too, as does that wrap around porch and huge cupola! . #chasingfacades #ipulledoverforthis #whynotwednesday #archi_ologie #theamericanhome #circaoldhouses #archilovers #oldhomesarethebesthomes #oldhouselove #oldhousestyle #iloveoldhouses #historichomes #italianate #instahomes #yellowhouse #architecturelover #curbappeal #frontporchfriday #fridaysfrontporch #wraparoundporch #lacrossewi #wisconsin #visitwisconsin #brickstory #thisoldhouse #nationalregisterofhistoricplaces .

Built in 1849-50, the historic Workers' Row House is a wooden tenement built to house immigrants, primarily from County Cork, Ireland, escaping that country's dire potato famine. The Row House has managed to survive almost 2 centuries of the ever-changing urban landscape of Detroit. 🇮🇪☘️ #Detroit #Westside #CorktownDetroit #WorkersRowHouse #Tenement #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_the_world #beautifulhousesoldandnew #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatter #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter (at Workers Row House Corktown Detroit) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp6Tgv0jBgi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The William McGrath House at 110 West Forest Avenue was built in 1877. Along with partner David Short, McGrath platted the surrounding land as McGrath's Subdivision. Henry T. Brush, the ill-fated architect, designed many of the city's lost mansions during the mid Victorian period. The home itself is a wood frame Stick Style/Eastlake dwelling. It is one of the oldest surviving homes in the North Cass Corridor. #Detroit #CassCorridor #StickStyle #EastlakeStyle #VictorianArchitecture #HenryTBrush #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter (at Warren–Prentis Historic District) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn8fk25jYzv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Daniel Sullivan was born on June 26, 1867 in Detroit to Daniel and Julia Sullivan. He attended the city’s schools as well as the Detroit Business University. In 1887, at age 20, young Daniel began working for his father's coal and coke business. The junior Sullivan would spend 47 years with the firm, eventually becoming president, after his father's passing. On October 6, 1890, Sullivan married Catherine Thompson. Ms. Thompson was the sister of William B. Thompson, Mayor of Detroit (1907-09, 1911-13). The couple had 2 daughters, Catherine and Frances. A building permit was issued on June 3, 1898 for a home on a corner lot at Avery and Calumet streets. The builder was Stephen Linder. The home is the epitome of American Queen Anne architecture. The Sullivan family lived here from 1899 to 1918. In 1919, Mr. Sullivan relocated to 424 (1530) West Boston Boulevard, where he spent the remainder of his life. Daniel Sullivan died February 11, 1934, at the age of 66. In 2012, the Sullivan residence became the headquarters of Icrontic. Founded in 2000, Icrontic is a website that covers technology, gaming and Internet culture. #Detroit #Westside #WoodbridgeHistoricDistrict #WoodbridgeDetroit #QueenAnne #VictorianArchitecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #casasecasarios #houses_the_world #beautifulhouseoldandnew #TheAmericanHome #houseportrait #BrickStory #RawDetroit #PureMichigan #PureMittigan #MotorCityShooters #PureDetroit313 #DepictTheD #VisitDetroit #Michiganders #ThisPlaceMatters #ThisPlaceMattersDetroit #MichiganPlacesMatter (at Woodbridge Neighborhood) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpFw5dJL8F-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
