Perry McAdow House, Renaissance Revival residence in Midtown Detroit, United States
The Perry McAdow House at 4605 Cass Avenue features red brick and brownstone construction with Corinthian columns, bay windows, and decorative parapet balustrades.
Built in 1891 by architects Martin Scholls & Son, the residence was constructed using funds from Clara McAdow's profitable gold mine sale for $500,000.
The property transformed from a private residence to a First Universalist congregation building in 1913, later serving as a parish house with additional church facilities.
The building maintains its original architectural elements, including stained glass windows, intricate frescos, detailed paneling, and ornate plasterwork throughout the interior spaces.
The two-and-a-half-story structure incorporates a red brick church hall from 1917 behind the main building, expanding its functional space for community purposes.
