Albert Kahn House, Historic residence in Midtown Detroit, United States.
The Albert Kahn House features English Renaissance architecture with brick walls, gray stone trim, and a slate roof across two carefully planned floors.
The residence, constructed in 1906, served as the personal home of architect Albert Kahn until his death in 1942, when it became Detroit Urban League headquarters.
The building includes a 1928 library wing addition that accommodated Albert Kahn's growing art collection and supported his expanding social connections in Detroit.
The structure incorporates reinforced concrete floors covered with wooden sleepers supporting finished wood surfaces, creating a soundproof and fireproof environment.
The entrance on Mack Avenue displays a stone arch decorated with floral patterns personally designed by Albert Kahn himself.
