Franklin H. Walker House
Franklin H. Walker House, Jacobean residence in Detroit, US.
The Franklin H. Walker House features brown brick walls, rock-faced limestone, and an octagonal tower with a pointed roof at its corner.
Built in 1896 for Franklin H. Walker, president of Hiram Walker Distillery, the residence remained the largest house on Jefferson Avenue until 1998.
The structure represents the architectural preferences of Detroit's industrial leaders during the late 19th century, designed by prominent architect George D. Mason.
The building served as Doctor's Hospital from its residential conversion until 1980, introducing medical services to the East Jefferson Avenue area.
Two distinct architectural elements defined the property: a corner octagonal tower and a two-story, three-sided bay window projection.
