Shiloh House, Queen Anne style architectural building in Benton Harbor, Michigan, United States.
Shiloh House is a cement block building in Benton Harbor featuring rounded turrets, a hip roof, and covered archways. These structural elements connect the main section to two rear wings and reflect early 20th-century architectural design.
The House of David Colony built the structure in 1910 as part of their pursuit of self-sufficient production and experimental construction. Members of the community manufactured their own materials and tested new building techniques.
The house reflects the ideals of a religious community that experimented with alternative living arrangements in the early 1900s. Its design shows how residents wanted to combine innovative construction methods with communal living.
The structure is located at 1055 East Britain Road and stands as a National Register of Historic Places site. Visitors can study the architecture from the exterior and appreciate the historical details of its design.
The house was built from the first cement blocks produced by machinery developed within the community itself. This connection between self-manufactured materials and architecture makes it an early example of innovation in construction.
