Dorothy H. Turkel House, Frank Lloyd Wright residential design in Palmer Woods, Detroit, United States.
The two-story residence spans 4,300 square feet and features a music room with 15-foot ceilings, incorporating over 200 pierced blocks for natural light penetration.
Completed in 1956, the house represents a departure from typical single-story Usonian homes and stands as the only Frank Lloyd Wright structure within Detroit city limits.
The residence demonstrates mid-20th century architectural principles through its open floor plan, natural materials, and integration with the surrounding landscape.
The upper level contains a master suite, two additional bedrooms, and a study, while periodic guided tours allow visitors to explore the garden and grounds.
The construction utilizes 36 different patterns of hollow concrete blocks throughout the structure, making it the only two-story Usonian Automatic ever built.
