Ossian H. Sweet House, Single-family detached home in Detroit, US.

The Ossian H. Sweet House at 2905 Garland Street features brick construction with a full basement, open porch, and enclosed sun porch on the south side.

In 1925, African American physician Dr. Ossian Sweet purchased this residence, leading to violent protests from white residents and a nationally significant legal case.

The residence stands as a testament to housing discrimination and racial tensions in 1920s Detroit, where neighborhoods were strictly defined by racial boundaries.

The property, maintained through city preservation grants, offers educational programs about civil rights history and housing discrimination in the United States.

Attorney Clarence Darrow successfully defended Dr. Sweet and ten others in court after shots fired from the house resulted in two casualties among the protestors.
