William H. Wells House
William H. Wells House, Historic residence on East Jefferson Avenue, Detroit, US
The William H. Wells House spans 18,000 square feet and features a stone turret with a conical roof at its corner intersection.
William Henry Miller, the first architecture graduate from Cornell University, designed this residential structure in 1889 for the Croul family heirs.
The mansion demonstrates the architectural preferences of Detroit's upper class during the late nineteenth century through its stone construction and grand proportions.

The residence stands as the only known Detroit building designed by William Henry Miller, who created numerous structures at Cornell University.
