William C. Boydell House
William C. Boydell House, Beaux-Arts residence in Midtown Detroit, United States.
The William C. Boydell House stands at 4614 Cass Avenue with a three-story brick and limestone facade featuring rock-faced terraces and banded elements.
Built in 1895 for paint manufacturer William C. Boydell, this double house became part of the National Register of Historic Places in March 1982.
The structure exemplifies the Beaux-Arts architectural movement through its symmetrical design, classical details, and refined combination of brick and limestone materials.
The building consists of two separate residential units unified behind a single facade, demonstrating efficient space utilization in urban residential architecture.
The house maintains direct connections to Detroit's industrial heritage through its original owner, who established the nationally recognized Boydell Brothers paint company in 1867.
