Description

Palmer Park is Detroit’s underappreciated architectural jewel. Situated across the intersection of McNichols Road (Six Mile) and Woodward Avenue, it embraces each and every style of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. United States senator Thomas Palmer at first developed the property as farmland and donated it to the city within the 1890s. Between 1924 and 1964, its character changed with one of the most perfect examples of brand new apartment living from top local architects, including considered one of just five buildings credited to the world-renowned Albert Kahn. Writer Gregory C. Piazza showcases the exceptional story of building Palmer Park.
