George W. Loomer House, National Register of Historic Places residence in Detroit, United States.
The George W. Loomer House features a two-story turret with a conical roof, arched porch, and detailed masonry work at 71 West Hancock Street.
Built in 1888 by architect Almon C. Varney for lumber dealer George W. Loomer, the house represented an investment of 4,300 dollars at that time.
The residence reflects the period when local industrialists and merchants constructed substantial homes in Detroit during the late nineteenth century economic expansion.
The structure currently serves as a multi-unit residential building, primarily accommodating Wayne State University students and faculty members in its apartments.
The third apartment contains a specific architectural element known as a casket window, demonstrating particular design considerations of the period.
