East River Road Historic District
East River Road Historic District, Gothic Revival district in Grosse Ile, Michigan.
The East River Road Historic District contains eleven structures, including seven houses, two outbuildings, St. James Episcopal Church, and a railroad depot.
The district received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, preserving significant residential structures built between 1840 and 1870.
Architect Gordon W. Lloyd designed multiple houses in the district, incorporating Gothic Revival elements such as steeply pitched roofs and pointed arches.
Visitors can view the collection of historic buildings along East River Road, which faces the Detroit River with expansive yards and waterfront views.
The St. James Episcopal Church construction was funded through a legacy from Lisette Denison Forth, a former slave who made arrangements with the Biddle family.
